Well, it's a complicated report used by a purchaser to generate a purchase order based on need for a product dependent on customer demand. It's accessing a LOT of data. That's not to say that I can't speed it up with indexes, or break it up into a request that's passed off to a server process that generates data that it then writes to the database for later retrieval by the client. But it wasn't designed that way and such a change would be substantial. It has worked for a few years, and what I'm looking to do right now is get around the 5 min. barrier before spending more time looking at the underlying problem and ways to solve it.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I think the bigger question is why does it take that long to run? I can't think of too many people that are willing to wait that long for information. Personally I'd give you 30 seconds and then I'll never use something that
slow again.

If you are accessing data, try adding indexes or a data redesign to speed
things up. A simple index based on key data can speed up searches
exponentially.

Just a thought. Most of my problems have been my problems not something
Tomcat was doing wrong.

Subject: Client request times out

I have a problem with a servlet running longer than 5 minutes. The
client's browser is delivered an error response from somewhere on the
server in an Apache/JBoss/Tomcat stack at the 5 minute mark.
Does anyone know what properties/attributes in what configuration
files might allow the servlet to run for longer than 5 minutes?
I have tried:

TimeOut (in apache config)
disableUploadTimeout (in Connector attribute settings, server.xml for
Tomcat 5.5)
socket_timeout (in workers.properties)

None seem to have the desired effect.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
