<subsection name="Comet timeouts">
<p>If you are using the NIO connector, you can set individual timeouts for your different comet connections.
To set a timeout, simple set a request attribute like the following code shows:
+ <source>CometEvent event.... event.setTimeout(30*1000);</source> or
<source>event.getHttpServletRequest().setAttribute("org.apache.tomcat.comet.timeout", new Integer(30 * 1000));</source>
This sets the timeout to 30 seconds.
Important note, in order to set this timeout, it has to be done on the <code>BEGIN</code> event.
