Time to process request
Hi all,
I'm working on an application that makes requests to several backend
services, and i need to establish a max time in wich the struts application
must send the http response. Is it possible to define such timeout? I've
been searching for a way to do this, but i haven't found anything.
Cheers,

Posted by André Lopes <af...@gmail.com>.
For a tipical web browser application that should be a good approach, but in
this case, my application acts as a gateway, so all operations are a one
shot operation.
I will go to extend the class TilesRequestProcessor, and implement my own
protected ActionForward processActionPerform(...) overriding the method
implemented in the base class of TilesRequestProcessor, RequestProcessor.
In this method i will create a new Thread that will call the method
Action.execute(...) while the created RequestProcessor will control the time
spent on the Action.execute(...) method.
If the given time is passed, then the new RequestProcessor will return a
specific forward, otherwise it will return the forward returned by the
Action.execute(...) method.
I have implemented this ideia, out side, my application, and works for a
single request. Now i'm going to test with multiple requests. Some of them
will give the timeout, and others will not. This way i will evaluate
possible memory issues and other stuff.
Am i missing some obvious problems that will occur?
Cheers,

An easy alternative is to have a "processing" page meta-refresh to a struts action that checks the status of the long-running process(es).
While the processing is still continuing, send the resonse back to the same "processing" page.
When the processing is complete, send the response to a "complete" page.

I think execute and wait interceptor will do what i want that is to give the
backend services an amount of time to do their job. If they don't do it in
that time, the struts app should send a response message back to the client.
The only problem with the interceptor is that it is not available in struts
1.2.4 (the application is old), so i'm going to have to make the mechanism
myself.
Thanks for the answer!

Your question is a bit vague, which might be why you are having
trouble finding a solution...
If I understand the problem properly, perhaps using the "Execute and
Wait" facility will help -
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/execute-and-wait-interceptor.html
As far as controlling the amount of time before giving up on the
backend services (if that's your goal), you would have to build that
mechanism yourself.
