I was hoping that there was some configuration I could set so that if an invocation took more than a certain amount of time it would automatically throw an exception. It sounds as if you are saying there is not such configuration and offer a couple of alternatives.

One alternative is to create a thread in an interceptor and have the work done in that new thread. The interceptor could wait on that thread with a timeout and throw and excpetion if the thread does not return in time. I can see how that would work, but it would double the number of threads in our system, which worries me.

The other alternative is to program with futures. I am not quite clear how to do this, but I suspect it is an approach we would not want. We like the api to be synchronous from the client point of view. Also, the api is quite large, so I suspect there would be a lrage number of changes to make this work.

Could you say if I am reading your responses correctly? I appreciate your help. Unfortunately, I am not sure that either of these approaches are ones we want to take.

Thanks,

Harold
