RestTemplate timeout

[qwertyuiop]

Hi,

I want to set the connection timeouts for a rest service. I'm using the RestTemplate to talk to my service. I've done some research and I've found and used the xml below (in my application xml) which I believe is meant to set the timeout. I'm using Spring 3.0.

<bean id="RestOperations" class="org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate">
		<constructor-arg>
		
			<bean class="org.springframework.http.client.CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory">
				<property name="readTimeout" value="${restURL.connectionTimeout}" />
			</bean>
		</constructor-arg>
	</bean>

It seems whatever I set the readTimeout to be I get the following:

Network cable disconnected:
Waits about 20 seconds and reports following exception:

org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessExcep tion: I/O error: No route to host: connect; nested exception is java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host: connect

Url incorrect so 404 returned by rest service:
Waits about 10 seconds and reports following exception:

org.springframework.web.client.HttpClientErrorExce ption: 404 Not Found

My requirements require shorter timeouts so I need to be able to change these. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks.

Is there no solution for this?

I tried this config too and the behavior is still as described above:

 <bean id="RestOperations" class="org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate">
		<constructor-arg ref="httpClientFactory"/>
	</bean>

    <bean id="httpClientFactory" class="org.springframework.http.client.CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory">
        <constructor-arg ref="httpClient"/>
    </bean>
	
	<bean id="httpClient" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient">
        <constructor-arg ref="httpClientParams"/>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="httpClientParams" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.params.HttpClientParams">
    	<property name="connectionManagerTimeout" value="2000"/>
    	
	</bean>
