Re: PostMethod 's recycle method has problem

[Himanshu Thube]

Thanks Oleg & Ortwin
It seems I will have to use approach suggested by you. Will create new 
PostMethod object every time and use
HttpMethod#releaseConnection. By the way, even in my earlier code I had 
set timeout to 15000.

Himanshu,
Try setting socket timeout to a non-zero value. HttpMethod#recycle among many things 
calls HttpMethod#releaseConnection which in its turn attempts to reads the remaining 
response content to make sure that connection reusable. If the socket timeout is not 
set, releaseConnection may hang indefinitely under certain circumstances (target 
server is slow, congested network, etc)
Besides, I want to echo Odi's comment: there's nothing to be gained from method 
recycling. Just create a new HTTP method every time you need to execute an HTTP 
request. Do not forget to call HttpMethod#releaseConnection, though

Hi Christopher
Well thats the main problem. When my code comes to asynchPost.recycle()
in code below the program hangs !!
I am giving some code below to give an idea. This is not the original
code though. Does anybody know whats wrong here  ??
while(myflag) {
if(asyncState!=null) {
asynchPost.execute(asyncState,asyncConnection);
} else {
statusCode = asynchHttpsclient.executeMethod(asynchPost);
asyncState=asynchHttpsclient.getState();
}
       if(asynchPost==null) {
           if(usehttps) {
               asynchPost = new PostMethod(httpsasynchUri.toString());
           } else {
               asynchPost = new PostMethod(httpasynchUri.toString());
           }          
       } else if (asynchPost.hasBeenUsed()) {
          asynchPost.recycle();        
       }
       if(deviceProperty.getRequestObject()!=null) {
           Document
request=(Document)deviceProperty.getRequestObject();   
           asynchPost.setRequestBody(new
String(MyUtils.getBytesOfDom(request)));
       }
}

I think I know the answer to this one.  You need to call .recycle()
after every .execute().

Subject: PostMethod 's recycle method has problem
Hi all,
Thanks for all your answers for my questions till now. I have a problem
with PostMethod. When I reuse the same method it gives a exception that
PostMethod  needs to be recycled. So I had put a check with help of
hasbeenUsed() method of PostMethod and trying to recycle the PostMethod.
Unfortunately my program hangs :( when it reaches recycle() call or even
if I try to print the ResponseBody of method.
Can someone let me know where could be the problem ??
Just to menthion, I am calling same post method with same request and
URL in a indefinite while loop until someone sets the while flag to
false.
