How to configure this default 30 seconds timeout?

Answer 1

The default timeout can be configured on the Connector

Server server = new Server();
ServerConnector connector = new ServerConnector(server);
connector.setIdleTimeout(Duration.ofMinutes(5).toMillis());
server.addConnector(connector);

Be careful to not pass connection related arguments to new Server(), like port or InetSocketAddress, otherwise, the Server constructor creates a connector that won't have the IdleTimeout you want. Instead, pass the port or InetSocketAddress to the connector yourself.
