HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean timeout

[jv]

Hi,

I've had a look at the APIs but can't seem to find a place where I can set a timeout on the HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

You will want to use the CommonsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor class. You can set it up like so:



<bean id="httpClient" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.CommonsHt tpInvokerRequestExecutor">
<property name="httpClient">
<bean class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient">
<property name="connectionTimeout" value="2000"/>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="someServiceClient" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvok erProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceUrl" value="xxx"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="xxx"/>
<property name="httpInvokerRequestExecutor" ref="httpClient"/>
</bean>


However you'll notice that in Commons HTTP Client 3.0, the 'setConnectionTimeout' method of the HttpClient class is deprecated. This means you should instead use the HTTP Client's HttpConnectionManager and HttpConnectionManagerParams classes to set this up.

Thanks Jess - that works perfectly!

Is there any way to timeout already established connections?

I.e. if my remote service is responding too slowly, abort the connection?
