Troubleshooting
Problem
When "Read/Write timeout" of "Web server plug-in properties" is set to -1 via "WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console", The property becomes invalid. In the sense, the console view for it is greyed out.
Symptom
On a WebSphere AppServer 8.5 Console, to disable ServerIOTimeout variable when trying to set the Read/Write Timeout of "0" , if inadvertently an input of "-1" is provided instead, The following is observed
1. Setting Read/Write Timeout "-1" via Console.
2. Once saved, The Console view gets greyed out with a value of "0"
3> Now, The console view for Read/Write Timeout does not revert to "0" for any other negative value. Only for "-1". However, the plugin-cfg.xml shows the correct value of "-1" for ServerIOTimeout. This in effect renders the JVM to get marked down after a ServerIOTimeout of "1" second. A highly unrealistic value for ServerIOTimeout.
NOTE: 1. Read/Write Timeout from WebSphere Console is reflected as ServerIOTimeout in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
2. This is observation is consistent in WebSphere 7.0/8.0/8.5 versions.
