The default value should be fine, except if you experience -very long Java garbage collection pauses. -Depending on your network latency and stability, good custom values -often are between 5000 and 15000 milliseconds. -You can overwrite the timeout used for connect and prepost mode with -<b>connect_timeout</b> and <b>prepost_timeout</b>. -Remember: don't use extremely small values. -</p> -<p> -The worker attribute <b>connect_timeout</b> sets the wait timeout -in milliseconds for CPong during connection establishment.

Many backends use a dedicated -thread for each incoming connection they handle. So usually one wants the -connection pool to shrink, if the load diminishes. -</p> -<p> -JK allows connections in the pool to get closed after some idle time. -This maximum idle time can be configured with the attribute -<b>connection_pool_timeout</b> which is given in units of seconds. -The default value is "0", which disables closing idle connections. -</p> -<p> -We generally recommend values around 10 minutes, so setting -<b>connection_pool_timeout</b> to 600 (seconds). If you use this attribute, -please also set the attribute <b>connectionTimeout</b> in the AJP -Connector element of your Tomcat server.xml configuration file to -an analogous value. <b>Caution</b>: connectionTimeout is in milliseconds. -So if you set JK connection_pool_timeout to 600, you should set Tomcat -connectionTimeout to 600000. -</p> -<p> -JK connections do not get closed immediately after the timeout passed. -Instead there is an automatic internal maintenance task -running every 60 seconds, that checks the idle status of all connections. -The 60 seconds interval -can be adjusted with the global attribute worker.maintain.

So if your web server has processes that do not receive any -requests for a long time, there is no way to close the idle connections -in its pool.

For IIS we use -a default value of 250 (before version 1.2.20: 10), -for the Sun Web Server the default is "1". -We strongly recommend adjusting this value for IIS and the Sun Web Server -to the number of requests one web server process should -be able to send to a backend in parallel.

Starting with JK 1.2.24 you can improve this behaviour using -<b><a href="../../reference/workers.html">max_reply_timeouts</a></b>.
