Tuning the web container
You can set the time that the HTTP transport channel allows a socket to remain idle between requests.
About this task
The IBM® WebSphere® Application Server web container manages all HTTP requests to servlets, JavaServer Pages and web services. Requests flow through a transport chain to the web container. WebSphere Application Server will close a given client connection after a number of requests or a timeout period. You can set a value for persistent timeouts to specify the amount of time, in seconds, that the HTTP transport channel allows a socket to remain idle between requests.

instructions contain settings that were tested in IBM labs. These are just a starting point. Since
your deployment might have a configuration unique to your site, these
settings might require more adjustment.
