Configure keep alive timeout on Jetty 6.1.19

  • 772

How do you set the timeout on keep alive connections to the Jetty web server (in my case v6.1.19)?

I would like to configure how long Jetty keeps connections open when a client requests keep alive. Currently it seems indefinite.

  1. This can be configured by setting the "maxIdleTime" on the socket connector. See Configuring Connectors

    For example in jetty.xml

    <Call name="addConnector">
    <Arg>
    <New class="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
        <Set name="maxIdleTime">10000</Set>

    From the manual:

    Set the maximum Idle time for a connection, which roughly translates to the Socket.setSoTimeout(int) call, although with NIO implementations other mechanisms may be used to implement the timeout.
