How to make a socket connection timeout infinity in Servlet doPost method.

I want to redirect my System.out to a file on a remote server (running Apache Web Server and Apache Tomcat). For which I have created a file upload servlet.
The connection is established only once with the servlet and the System.out is redirected to it. Everything goes fine if i keep sending data every 10 second.
But it is required that the data can be sent to the servlet even after 1 or 2 days. The connection should remain open. I am getting java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out Exception as the socket timeout occurs.
Can anyone guide me how to change the default timeout of the socket connection in my servlet class.
Following is the coding to establish a connection with the Servlet.
URL servletURL = new URL(mURL.getProtocol(), mURL.getHost(), port, getFileUploadServletName() );
URLConnection mCon = servletURL.openConnection();
mCon.setDoInput(true);
mCon.setDoOutput(true);
mCon.setUseCaches(false);
mCon.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
In the Servlet Code I am just trying to read the input from the in that is the input stream.
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(req.getInputStream());
byte [] content = new byte[1024];
do
read = in.read(content, 0, content.length);
if (read > 0)
out.write(content, 0, read);
I have redirected the System.out to the required position.
System.setOut(........);
Can anyone guide me how to change the default timeout of the socket connection in my servlet class.

I am aware of the setKeepAlive() method, but this can only used with the sockets. Here i am inside a servlet, have access to HTTPServletRequest and HTTPServletResponse and I don't know how to get access to the underlying sockets as the socket handling will be handled by the tomcat itself. If I am right there will be method in the apache tomcat 6.0.x to set this property. But till now I am not getting it.

Sockets connection timeout

I'm trying to open a socket on a machine(ip address). It works fine when the machine is up, but it takes about a minute for the socket to return an exception if the maching is down.
I've tried opening the socket in a separate thread (as is the only suggestion I found till date), and tried to time it out from the thread running it. But, this doesn't work.
Does anyone have any solution other than the 'thread' solution??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the javadocs for setSoTimeout
... a read() call on the InputStream associated with this Socket will block for only this amount of time...
It doesn't say anything about connecting.
And from "Unix Network Programming" by Stevens
..three ways to place a timeout on ... a socket
1. Call alarm...
2. Block waiting for I/O in select, ... instead of blocking in a call to read...
3. Use the newer SO_RDVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEEO ... not all implementations support these two socket options.
All three techniques work with input and output operations (e.g. read, write, and...) but we would also like a technique that we can use with connect, ... select can used to place a timout on connect only when the socket is is in a nonblocking mode...
Based on the above I don't believe setSoTimeout() is going to affect the timeout of a connect.
Additionally can one connect a Socket after creation? setSoTimeout() is not static, so the socket instance has to exist before calling it. But I don't see a connect method (nor a way to set host and port after initialization) so how could it affect the connect timeout?

Hi.......
Welcome to SAP Business One Forum.....
Unfortunately this is the wrong forum you posted here.
I would suggest you post it in SDK or System Administration Forum and definitely you get the solution and close this thread from here......

?You wouldn't have a port in the url, you would need to have the socket open in the applet code. The vb.net program would also need to be on the same server as the applet or you'll have security issues and I doubt that's possible with geocities. I don't know what you would need to communicate with a vb.net if anything, but I'm sure it's possible.

How to make VPN client auto timeout when it still idle?

How to make VPN client auto disconnect when it still idle?
Hi,I found some user still connected the VPN evenif they dose not use the VPN resouse.
I try to set a "idle timeout" for the VPN configuration.
We use PIX515 8.0.3 and CISCO ACS 4.2 for the VPN's connection and authentication,and the user use cisco vpn client for the connection.
I have tried many methods,but all failured.
First,I configed "vpn-idel-timeout 5" on PIX.It can not worked.
so,I add Radius(CISCO VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.0+) attribute "[026/3076/050] Authenticated-User-Idle-Timeout" on CISCO ACS,It still not worked.
And I also add IETF RADIUS Attributes "[028] Idle-Timeout" on group setting on ACS,it always not worked.
i found in vpn client's statistics,it always has some byte sended or received, i thought it maybe IPsec keepalive message or Radius message.
This maybe the reason because the PIX or ACS think the vpn user is keep working.
Can someone tell me how to make a "idle time out"?
best regard.
Roger

here is the configuration on PIX,
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
wins-server value 10.0.0.67 10.0.0.68

How to make the client connect to the server at the command prompt?

I found this code on IBM's website, it was a training session on servers and clients using java.
The code compiles fine and the server seems to start up properly when I use java Server 5000. I think whats happening is the server is running and listening for a connection on port 5000.
When I try to run the client I get the following error.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
I see a start() method but no main. As far as I know, applications should all have main, it seems as if the person who wrote this kinda confused applets with application. Not that I would really know what happened.
If you have time, could you tell me if there's an easy fix for this? I would love to have this client/server working if it isn't too much trouble. As I have looked all over the net for a free client/server applet that will actually let me see the java code and none of the free ones do allow getting to their source.
Most of them allow you to customize them somewhat but also have built in advertising that can't be removed.
This is the closest I have come to finding one that lets me look under the hood. But alas it doesn't work out of the box and I don't know what to do to fix it.

Socket connection timeout

I have a simple threaded client application to connecting to the server
which is also threaded. I am using the following code to prevent(reduce)
connection timeouts, but it doesn't seem like timeout period elapses
before exception is thrown on the client side. Any ideas? Exception
occurs way before 10 seconds as specified in the code below.
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(this.serverName);
SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress(addr,this.port);
Socket socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(sockaddr,10000);
The exception I get on the client side is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
Thanks

The timeout kicks in if the other end hasn't responded within the period. In this case the other end has refused the connect attempt, probably because nothing is listening on the requested port. This can happen well within the timeout period, as you have experienced.

How to make common database connection using bean, etc.

anyone know how to make a coomon database connection because on my web pages each of them need to connect on the database for their specific objectives... please help

blingbling
Edited by: BlingBling15 on Oct 22, 2007 1:16 PM

Making a 'common' connection and passing it around is a bad idea. And making a new connection on every page, as you seem to have already guessed, also involves an overhead that you can do without.
Like drvijayj2k2 has mentioned, you should use connection pooling.
Take a look at the Apache Commons DBCP [1] and it's examples [2].

Restoring the Business Intelligence Presentation Catalog and Updating Metadata
The third point blow above heading is not clear.
Thanks

Umesh - in order to build Answers and Dashboard content you must first setup a Physical model, then a Business model, followed by a Presentation Catalog/Subject Area.
All these tasks are carried out using the Repository Administration Utility.
1) Import your physical tables using OCI/ODBC into the physical layer.
2) Build your model
3) Deploy
Then you're ready to start building answers/dashboards.
Good Luck.

Chris Thanks for your reply. I am trying to do the following:

My understanding from the OC4J docs is have seen is I need to use a http port but in the connection manager I do not see a way to adapt the url to make a proper connection. Is this something that was just not taken into account ??? or am I just missing something here to make the connection. The help is of no use on this subject so I appreciate any assistance I can get.

How to make a internet connection!!

I need to make a internet connection before a start a servlet (client) there's a form to do that ????

There is no such thing as a 'internet connection'. You don't connect to the internet, you connect to computers - like DSN servers, web servers etc.
Presumably you have a network. A client (browser) must connect to an application server to use a servlet. This is true even when running on the same box.
Your question is how to you connect to the web server? What application/web server are you running?

How To make/configure Broadband connection in Sun java desktop system

Hi all,
I am using sun java desktop system Release 3 solaris 10 version in my sun ultra workstation. I have a problem with it. I can not make broadband connection , in it. so pls let me know how can i make broadband connection with my ADSL modem ?
Thanks
Partha

Try this:
Log into a termina as rootl. (Select failsafe terminal or command login)
To get the name of your network interface driver, type:
/usr/sbin/ifconfig -a You'll see something like this:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 129.156.226.245 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 129.156.226.255
In my case it is hme0 so I create a file called /etc/dhcp.hme0:
touch /etc/dhcp.hme0If you want to set a hostname, put it in a file called /etc/hostname.hme0 for example:
rm /etc/hostname.hme0
echo myhostname > /etc/hostname.hme0Most broadband providers preconfigure ADSL modems to default to DHCP so if you do this, connect the ultra 10 to the broadband modem and reboot, the ultra 10 should pick up an IP address and be connected to the internet.
