Hello,
I am using httpclient 3.1. I am trying to make a http request that should
timeout when a response is not revceived within 2 minutes. The requirement
is also to retry 3 times before throwing back an application exception.
When I set the socket timeout to >90,000 milliseconds, the timeout never
works. Sometimes, I see the connection waiting for more than 2 mins for a
response instead of throwing a SocketTimeoutException. Below is the code
sample that I am using to make the HttpRequest.
String proxyPortNumber=
(String)PropertiesUtil.getIonProps().getProperty(IonConstants.PROXYPORT);
String proxyServer =
(String)PropertiesUtil.getIonProps().getProperty(IonConstants.PROXYSERVER);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxyServer,
Integer.parseInt(proxyPortNumber));
Integer connWaitTime=new Integer("120000");
PostMethod postMethod = new PostMethod(url);
HttpMethodRetryHandler retryhandler = new
HttpMethodRetryHandler() {
public boolean retryMethod(
final HttpMethod method,
final IOException exception,
int executionCount) {
if (executionCount >= 3) {
// Do not retry if over max retry
count
return false;
}
System.out.println("Retrying Request::" +
executionCount);
if (exception instanceof
java.net.SocketTimeoutException) {
// Retry if the server dropped
connection on us
return true;
}
if (!method.isRequestSent()) {
// Retry if the request has not
been sent fully or
// if it's OK to retry methods
that have been sent
return true;
}
// otherwise do not retry
return false;
}
};
client.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER,
retryhandler);
//client.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.SO_TIMEOUT,connWaitTime);
postMethod.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.SO_TIMEOUT,connWaitTime);
System.out.println("ConnWaitTime ::" +
postMethod.getParams().getParameter(HttpMethodParams.SO_TIMEOUT));
postMethod.setRequestEntity(new
StringRequestEntity(xmlData, null, null));
postMethod.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"text/xml");
int responseCode =
client.executeMethod(postMethod);
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(postMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream()));
String line;
while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null)
{
response += line + "\n";
}
//System.out.println("responseBody " +
responseBody);
postMethod.releaseConnection();
I hope you can help me.
Thanks
