Is it possible to set a timeout for an already open connection?

Hi all,

Is there any way to set a timeout for a request that has been already 
stablished?

Currently, I can perform a DoS attack to my tomcat server just by 
starting enough requests, sending a few bytes in each one, and letting 
the connections open during a large time.

I was wondering if there is any way to prevent such an attack.

Regards,
Rodrigo Ruiz
