Element Description

<messaging> Element

Controls the messaging settings for the Microsoft Web Services Enhancements.

Remarks

The value of the <executionTimeoutInSeconds> element does not control the execution timeout for Web services created using ASP.NET.

WSE checks for threads that are processing SOAP messages and have exceeded the specified timeout at 15 second intervals. Therefore, a thread may continue to process for up to 15 seconds beyond the specified timeout.

When a thread exceeds the specified limit, the thread is aborted and a SOAP fault is returned to the sender with a SOAP fault code that indicates that the server is unavailable.

Before adding the <executionTimeoutInSeconds> element to a configuration file, you must add the microsoft.web.services3 configuration section handler to the configuration file. For details about adding the microsoft.web.services3 configuration section handler, see <section> Element.

Example

The following code example specifies that messages must be processed in less than 60 seconds.

<configuration>
  <microsoft.web.services3>
    <messaging>
      <executionTimeoutInSeconds value="60" />
    </messaging>
  </microsoft.web.services3>
</configuration>
