Thank you very much. I had also found those parameters, which limit the connection between the client and Apache. But they do not stop the execution within JBoss I assume. In fact, is there any way JBoss can stop execution of a timed-out request? What if I program an infinite loop in a servlet? Does that mean that JBoss loses one thread to a useless infinite execution every time some one calls that servlet? Apache gives them a time-out, but the JBoss thread continues I suppose. Is there a way to make JBoss stop execution of requests that have timed out? Thanks in advance for any help.
