Hi, I am doing some testing with connection time outs with CXF 2.2.2. I am setting it programmatially using the HTTPClientPolicy (see code below). It seems the timeout is ignored if the web server is offline. I can set the timeout to any value and it will consistently timeout after about 2 seconds (which is very low!). The timeout does seem to work correctly when I simply put Thread.sleep() in the ping() service method, or maybe that's just the receive timeout working by that point... I am not using spring at all on the client, no spring jars or anything. Here is my client code:
-------------------------------- JaxWsProxyFactoryBean factory = new JaxWsProxyFactoryBean(); factory.setServiceClass(serviceInterface); factory.setAddress(url); AegisDatabinding binding = new AegisDatabinding(); binding.setMtomEnabled(mtom); factory.setDataBinding(binding); MyService service = (MyService)factory.create(); Client cl = ClientProxy.getClient(service); HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit) cl.getConduit(); HTTPClientPolicy httpClientPolicy = new HTTPClientPolicy(); httpClientPolicy.setConnectionTimeout(10000); httpClientPolicy.setReceiveTimeout(10000); httpClientPolicy.setAllowChunking(true); httpClientPolicy.setMaxRetransmits(3); http.setClient(httpClientPolicy); service.ping(); --------------------------- It also seems like the max retransmits is ignored too.. but I can't confirm that yet. The connection timeout is a problem because it causes errors for our users when they have a flaky network connection, or if we have to reload the web service for some reason (usually goes offline for 5 seconds). This never used to be a problem for us when we used XFire, because it would retry 3 times and had a decent timeout that was not ignored. Is there something else I can do to fix this? It's causing quite a few problems with users since the switch to CXF... Thanks, Kevin
