Hi Tobias,
Sorry, I'm not aware of anything in OpenJPA that would provide this type of
"processing timeout" capability.  (I always say "not aware" since there may
be some hidden gem in this open-source project that hasn't been surfaced
until the request is made...).  The only other alternative that I thought
of was setting a transaction timeout, but you stated that you are using
non-jta-data-source, so you probably don't have access to a JTA transaction
for this timeout setting.  The idea there would be to enclose your SELECT
processing within a JTA transaction that has a timeout associated with it.
The goal is to get to the JTA commit/rollback before the transaction times
out.  Are you executing within an app server that could provide this type
of functionality?

Other than that, it sounds like a nice feature request, if you care to open
a JIRA.

Thanks,
Kevin
