| The APPLICATION_SERVER element / The COMPONENT_LIST element | |
Timeout components provide instruction on how the Genero Application Server (GAS) or Web service responds after a specific period of time has passed, providing mechanisms to react to time-based events (such as user inactivity, or the time it takes to start a new application). Each timeout element specifies the number of seconds to wait prior to having the application server perform the task related to the timeout element. A timeout is fired when the specific condition is met.
Timeout elements can be defined for either:
Web applications (timeouts relating to the Front End - GDC or GWC)
Within the COMPONENT_LIST element of the Genero Application Server configuration file, you can define timeout components (a WEB_APPLICATION_TIMEOUT_COMPONENT or SERVICE_APPLICATION_TIMEOUT_COMPONENT) that can be referenced by Id when configuring an application, providing a set of timeout values for the application. Individual timeout elements can be overwritten within the application's configuration.
