Setting timeout on commons HttpClient

[dan.baumann]

Hi,

I'm using WebServiceTemplate with CommonsHttpMessageSender to access a remote web service.

By default, commons HttpClient's timeout is set to infinite, which I'd like to shorten just a little bit. Unfortunately, the following seems to have no effect at all (copied from HttpClient's docs):

Integer timeoutMs = new Integer(5 * 1000);
messageSender.getHttpClient().getParams().setParam eter("http.socket.timeout", timeoutMs);
messageSender.getHttpClient().getParams().setParam eter("http.connection.timeout", timeoutMs);

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Dan

hi Dan, did you ever get an answer to this question you posted back in June? I now have the same problem... Thanks

Sorry I missed your post earlier. This code seems to do the trick:

Integer timeoutMs = new Integer(5 * 1000);
messageSender.getHttpClient().getParams().setSoTimeout(timeoutMs);
