Wildfly 8.2/undertow read time out - java-8

Question

I recently migrated my project from jboss4 to wildfly 8.2 with java1.8. I have a webservice call using SAAJ which runs fine in command line. But when its run from within wildfly8.2, it times out after 60 seconds. I read from jboss forums that read requests have a default timeout of 60 seconds. So i changed my configuration in standalone.xml to
<ajp-listener name="ajp" socket-binding="ajp" max-parameters="10000"/>
**<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" max-parameters="10000" read-timeout="120000"/>**
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<filter-ref name="server-header"/>
<filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
</host>
But it still times out after 60 seconds with following errors.

I read here that i could set timeouts but I don't have to as the program runs fine without timing out from command line so its not saaj timeout issue. I am pretty sure wildfly/undertow is timing the socket read out for some reason.
Any help is appreciated.
---More details---
Currently I am using undertow 1.1 Final that came with wildfly8.2. I tried upgrading undertow to 1.2 beta, still same result.
Call that fails:
responseMsg = soapConn.call(soapMessage, wsdlLoc);
Undertow configuration in wildfly8.2 :
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:undertow:1.2">
<buffer-cache name="default"/>
<server name="default-server">
<ajp-listener name="ajp" socket-binding="ajp" max-parameters="10000"/>
<http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" max-parameters="10000" read-timeout="120000"/>
<host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>
<filter-ref name="server-header"/>
<filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
</host>
</server>
<servlet-container name="default">
<jsp-config/>
<websockets/>
</servlet-container>
<handlers>
<file name="welcome-content" path="${jboss.home.dir}/welcome-content"/>
</handlers>
<filters>
<response-header name="server-header" header-name="Server" header-value="WildFly/8"/>
<response-header name="x-powered-by-header" header-name="X-Powered-By" header-value="Undertow/1"/>
</filters>
</subsystem>
Even more details:
I tried this under wildfly9.0BETA2 and same result. Just want to share more details if it helps. SAAJ webservice call is made from a servlet that is running in wildfly8.2 and target WSDL is on another jboss server. So basically, client webservice call from wildlfy times out in 60 seconds, but If I run same call from a standalone java client and same code works just fine. I have even opened a thread on jboss community and am yet to hear any

Answer 1

I was able to fix this by changing receive timeout in apache-cxf source and rebuilding it for wildfly8.2
Brief instructions: (versions have to be exactly these otherwise compile fails).
Download CXF2.7.15 src from apache
Download jdk1.6 latest release
Download 3.0.4
Export JAVA_HOME=path-to-jdk1.6
Add jdk1.6/bin and maven/bin to PATH
export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m to fix permgen errors
Open ./rt/transports/http/src/main/resources/schemas/wsdl/http-conf.xsd and change ReceiveTimeout from 60000 to whatever needed for eg. 600000 (10 minutes)
Run mvn -Pfastinstall
File that has HTTPConduit socket timeout is HTTPClientPolicy.java which is in ./rt/transports/http/target/cxf-rt-transports-http-2.7.15.jar. Copy this jar into wildfly8.2 modules under apache/cxf/impl/main folder. And also, edit module.xml to use this jar.
I also had to change undertow read-timeout settings in standalone.xml to higher value to stop it from reattempting the request.
Hope this helps.

Alternatively, this issue has been resolved in wildfly 9. Developers can override the default CXF HTTP conduit values by setting system properties. More detail is available at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY9/Apache+CXF+integration#ApacheCXFintegration-ApacheCXFinterceptors

Enough to add the following code to Your webservice consumer:
//import javax.xml.ws.BindingProvider;
//Set timeout until a connection is established
((BindingProvider)this.myService).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout", "60000"); //one minute
//Set timeout until the response is received
((BindingProvider)this.myService).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout", "600000"); //ten minutes
