Hi Zac,

    Thank you for your comments. 

    Making the connection per provider or even per feature source is more flexible, however it also makes things more complicated. The ConnectionTimeout setting is for handling timeout, and it's useful for the outside server such as WMS, however it's not so useful for internal server such as SQLServer, because the internal server will quickly return error respond. I think because of this situation, FDO providers don't pay much attention to this property, and none of them implement them so far. If MapGuide server has complicated settings for each provider, but FDO part does not support it, it does not make sense. Another thing may be the connection pool, which holds shared connections. If the connection is per feature source, the reusable connection should check setting to use timeout value, and restore to default one when not this feature source. 

    It's the first customer bring up this kind of problem, maybe there will be similar problem for WFS also. But it will rarely happen on file based provider (SDF, SHP etc) or internal server based provider (SQL Server, Oracle etc). Considering FDO situation, I think we don't make things complicated so far. How do you think about it?

    Thank you for your suggestions again!

Thanks & regards,
Christine

Been thinking about this, a wms response is rather different to a DB connection timeout

The example of a flakey wms server is rather broad. A DB connection hanging on connect is different to a map request hanging

I know no other providers support this yet, but I think that this should be per provider like pooling is.

Also, for the FDO wms provider, I think this should be a per feature source configuration.

Also, my comment was just a quick comment rather than a full review, it's probably better to wait for other people to have a chance to review rather than committing straight away. It just happens we are in similar timezones
:)

Regards

Z

FDO provider supports it, and after this fixing only WMS provider supports it. So the change only applies to WMS provider.
