[Geoserver-users] Session timeout for GeoServer

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

So what you're saying is that if a single request takes longer than 10
seconds you just want GeoServer to not return anything?

Not exactly. My main purpose is to prevent the number of sessions from
exploding. Is it possible for me to maintain just one session for multiple
requests to GeoServer through the use of cookies?

Hi Chris,

What I understand is that whenever a request is sent to GeoServer, there

will be a new session created for GeoServer. How can I set the timeout
for these sessions?

You may also consider setting it in your servlet container, that may be
the cleaner way to do it? Note that I think your use of 'session' isn't
quite the way it's generally used, a session is like when you're
navigating a series of web pages, as you're logged in. You seem to be
wanting a timeout for a single response? Or am I reading what you wrote
wrong?

You got me right. The reason why I want to do this is that my application
sends requests to GeoServer very frequently where the time between two
requests is 10secs. So the sessions created for each request would build

up

very fast. Is there some workaround for this?

So what you're saying is that if a single request takes longer than 10
seconds you just want GeoServer to not return anything?

Note that if you break the client connection pipe then GeoServer is
smart enough to stop that connection. So that could be one way to go
about it, just make sure the client closes their connection. That will
probably stop it as quickly as anything you could hack in to GeoServer,
since that hack would use the exact same mechanism to stop.

best regards,

Chris

No, not currently. Probably would not be too hard to implement.

Would greatly appreciate some guidance on this. Thanks a lot.
