I have a process that includes running complex server-side processing while a loading screen (or other screen) is displayed to the client. In a regular (HTTP) environment, this process can run several minutes with no timeouts. In an https environment, it dies with a 503 push to client after 2 minutes. The server.xml files look the same and I cannot locate the 2 minute timeout anywhere. My friend, Google, doesn’t have much to offer besides changing around the port numbers.
Any ideas? I know this isn’t a solution, but I’ll post it on here as soon as I have one.
–Update—
Found someone more knowledgeable than I (which is very easy to do). Turns out that the timeout had nothing to do with https. Rather it was tomcat worker timeout: http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/workers.html. Workers are used for load balancing between multiple tomcat instantiations.
