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.
