/**
 * Asynchronous response suspend time-out handler.
 *
 * JAX-RS users may utilize this callback interface to provide
 * custom resolution of time-out events.
 * 
 * By default, JAX-RS runtime generates a {@link javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException}
 * with a {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Response.Status#SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE HTTP 503
 * (Service unavailable)} error response status code. A custom time-out handler
 * may be {@link AsyncResponse#setTimeoutHandler(TimeoutHandler) set} on an
 * asynchronous response instance to provide custom time-out event resolution.
 * 
 * 
 * In case of a suspend time-out event, a custom time-out handler takes typically one
 * of the following actions:
 * 

 * Resumes the suspended asynchronous response using a {@link AsyncResponse#resume(Object)
 * custom response} or a {@link AsyncResponse#resume(Throwable) custom exception}
 * Cancels the response by calling one of the {@link AsyncResponse} {@code cancel(...)}
 * methods.
 * Extends the suspend period of the response by
 * {@link AsyncResponse#setTimeout(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)
 * setting a new suspend time-out}
 * 
 * If the registered time-out handler does not take any of the actions above, the
 * default time-out event processing continues and the response is resumed with
 * a generated {@code WebApplicationException} containing the HTTP 503 status code.
 * 
 * 
 * Following example illustrates the use of a custom {@code TimeoutHandler}:
 * 
 *  * public class MyTimeoutHandler implements TimeoutHandler {
 *     …
 *     public void handleTimeout(AsyncResponse ar) {
 *         if (keepSuspended) {
 *             ar.setTimeout(10, SECONDS);
 *         } else if (cancel) {
 *             ar.cancel(retryPeriod);
 *         } else {
 *             ar.resume(defaultResponse);
 *         }
 *     }
 *     …
 * }
 *
 * @Path("/messages/next")
 * public class MessagingResource {
 *     …
 *     @GET
 *     public void readMessage(@Suspended AsyncResponse ar) {
 *         ar.setTimeoutHandler(new MyTimeoutHandler());
 *         suspended.put(ar);
 *     }
 *     …
 * }
 * 
 *

     * A custom time-out handler may decide to either
