title: How to add timeout in JAX-RS API
body: <p>I have a JAX-RS API that does a long duration work and the API is being called via ajax call by the client. The client is getting 503 status - Service Unavailable after 50 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>How can I increase this timeout value. I tried increasing the connection timeout in tomcat (which is hosting API). I also tried adding timeout in ajax call but that also didn't work.</p>
