If there are problems with a CIMOM to which the jsr48 client is connected to and it does not respond any longer, it is possible that a currently running operation is not returning in time.
It would be helpfull to have the possibility to cancel this call from the client side.
This bug will requires some rethinking. The current patch you have in your
possession will only cancel the current request while it awaits the first
byte of information from the CIMOM. After that (and a valid HTTP header)
it gets an input stream for the XML data within the HTTP response and
leaves synchronized code to process it.
Lowering priority a bit, Patrick stated that some things have changed in TPC and that this issue is not as important as before.
Also, would love to hear Alexander Wolf's teo-cents on this matter.
1st pass - add cancelCurrentRequest()
