I was indeed using Tomcat and meant the property "connectionTimeout"
so my question is answered -----Original Message----- From: David G. Friedman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2004 9:50 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: timeouts Dennis, What variable are you setting in the "server.xml"? BUT, I suppose the real question is: What are you doing (in general) that is taking so long to prepare or output? Is your output so slow that the browser is waiting forever for bytes and giving up? Is your issue prep time before handing a page back to the browser? If so you might be best off forking the process, setting a session variable such as 'processing', redirecting the user to a page that meta-refreshes every 30 seconds (or whenever you choose). That refresh page will check the session's 'processing' variable and, until it is gone, keep showing them a 'your request is processing' message. When that background process is completed, you could put the data into the session variable 'processed', remove the session variable 'processing', and your JSP can check that 'processing' is gone so it can stop displaying the 'your request is processing' message and kick out a page containing your 'processed' information. If you do that, just remember to remove the 'processed' data when you're done or it might eat up valuable 'session' storage space on your server -- a very important fact if you have a quota on the server. By the way, if you are using Tomcat and mean the property "connectionTimeout", then I believe you are barking up the wrong tree. I think that attribute handles how long Tomcat waits for a request after a client connects to it, not how long it will keep the connection open while it keeps sending data to the client's browser. So, please send more details so people smarter than I can help suggest a better solution or strategy.

Does struts have a timeout function?
