Hi everbody,
I am having an issue in webservice which resides in mono. I am having a webservice which process huge database operation. I have given "Timeout = 1024" in the "webconfig" file under "appSettings" tag.
When call is done to the webservice after 2 minuter i am getting "thread abort exception".
please help me to overcome this problem
regards Kumaran
It is bad practice to place long operations (in your case it is over 2 mins) to synchronous web service method. Usually web service is only facade to start long time method on back-end server or at least another thread. Client can periodcally check if operation is done (so called watchdog pattern). Or review possibility to use oneway method - when client doesn't care about result at all.
By the way, NOTE, even succeed operation in web request must finish with ThreadAbort exception - since HttpRequest contains it raising at end of request processing
You want to set the request timeout also. This is something like 30 or 60 seconds by default.
In the system.web section, set something like:
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="200"/>
This will affect all the pages, so perhaps you want to put the page in a separate folder so that you can have a local web.config file for this setting.
Check the innerexception. That's supposed to have some sort of HttpApplication.CancelModelException that should contain a flag indicating if it's a timeout or not. Either way, if you do have an innerexception it may provide more insight.
Additionally, make sure your method is set to async.
