Web Service Explorer preferences
Changing the timeout settings for the Web Service Explorer
Although the timeout setting does not need to be altered in most situations, you can change this setting at the product or workspace level. This preference represents the session timeout of the Web Service explorer in minutes. Entering a negative value will disable timeouts completely. If the preference is not set the default is 30 minutes.
To change the setting at the product level:
- Open your product's plugin_customization.ini file.
- Add the following line:org.eclipse.wst.ws.explorer/sessionTimeout=<timeout value>
To change the setting at the workspace level:
- Open the following file, or create it if it does not exist: <workspace_name>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.wst.ws.explorer.prefs
- Add or update the following line: sessionTimeout=<timeout value>
Note: The default timeout setting is designed to prevent a memory
leak. If you disable the timeout setting completely, this safeguard
will no longer be in place.
