RMI timeout from a jsp page in a spring mvc based application

[anindya.becs]

Hi all ,

I have a spring mvc application , where I use jsp's for the view. From the jsp's we make rmi calls to rmi server located on a remote machine, which interm runs various shell scripts.

Now the problem is ,I want my rmi calls to timeout if it takes more than a specified period of time, so say if the shell scripts are running for more than 10 mins I want the rmi calls to get timed out which I handle in my code and give a appropriate message to the user.

I have been looking around for this , but did not get much success with it. Any suggestions will be of great help.

Brief code ->
-------------

In my mvc web application I have this following bean ->

<bean id="adminRefreshService" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiProxyFa ctoryBean" scope="prototype">
<property name="serviceUrl" value="#{ rcmUtil.getURLForThisHost() }"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.rcmutil.web.service.Service"/>
</bean>

In my RMI server code we have the following ->

<bean class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiService Exporter">
<!-- does not necessarily have to be the same name as the bean to be exported -->
<property name="serviceName" value="adminRefreshService"/>
<property name="service" ref="policyRefreshService"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.bofa.service.Service"/>
<!-- defaults to 1099 -->
<property name="registryPort" value="1199"/>
</bean>

I am looking for some timeout configuration such that my rmi calls times out after a certain period of time.

Hi, try to overwrite the registryClientSocketFactory property of the RmiProxyFactoryBean’s instance with your own implementation of RMIClientSocketFactory. You can override the createSocket method and just set a timeout on the one created by default.
