300 seconds timout on http request in webLogic server ?
Using old apache xmlrpc (transfer xml over http protocol) from java inside an Oracle database accessing an application running on webLogic we experience a timeout between the database and the webLogic server.
Tests reveals that if application in webLogic is running less that 5 minutes (300 seconds) the database receives response from webLogic server as expected. If application is running more than 5 minutes the database seems to get a timeout.
Note that the application in webLogic server continue to run besides the 5 minutes.
There are no firewall between database and webLogic server.
In order to find out if the problem is on database side or webLogic side we have made a small stand alone client program using same xmlrpc accessing same application on same webLogic server. So in this test scenario no database involved.
