[jboss-as7-dev] JBossWeb does incorrect async timeout behavior?

[Bill Burke]

Both JBoss Web and Jetty 8.1 seem to do the same thing:

If you have suspended an HTTP request using request.suspend(100) and the 
timeout is reached, they both seem to retry the request rather than 
throwing an error code.

The javadoc for AsyncContext says otherwise though:

In the event that an asynchronous operation has timed out, the container 
must run through these steps:

     Invoke, at their onTimeout method, all AsyncListener instances 
registered with the ServletRequest on which the asynchronous operation 
was initiated.
     If none of the listeners called complete() or any of the dispatch() 
methods, perform an error dispatch with a status code equal to 
HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR.
     If no matching error page was found, or the error page did not call 
complete() or any of the dispatch() methods, call complete().
