• Key Concepts: 
  Timeout Service is a component of the BC-JAS Java Application Server. It is responsible for managing the timeout of requests and responses in the server. It is used to ensure that requests and responses are handled in a timely manner, and that resources are not wasted on requests that have been idle for too long.
  
  How to use it: 
  The Timeout Service can be configured to set different timeout values for different types of requests. This allows administrators to set different timeouts for different types of requests, such as web services, database queries, or other types of requests. The Timeout Service can also be used to set a global timeout value for all requests.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring the Timeout Service, it is important to consider the type of request and the expected response time. If the expected response time is too long, it may be necessary to increase the timeout value. It is also important to consider the impact of setting a global timeout value, as this may affect all requests in the system.
