Setting Timeout in URLConnection/HttpURLConnection

Hi all,
I am trying to open a connection a website using the java.net.HttpURLConnection.
Please tell me what is the default timeout (how much time it will wait for getting reply ) and how we can change the
default value. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

This seems to be what you are looking for.

Can some one give me clear answer how to set timeouts on URLConnection ?

I am amazed why Sun did not specify a simple method like setReadTimeout
on URLConnection or provide a way to get refernce to the underlying socket objet. By default the timeout is infinite!
I am using JDK 1.4 and these appraoches:
-Dsun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout=<value in milliseconds>
-Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=<value in milliseconds>
also don't work.
I do not have access to Socket object. Please help.
I am using URLConnection in my client application on HTTPS and doing heavy load form POST processing. I tried
Sockets as well but they don't work. URLConnection works perfectly fine except for the timeouts nightmare.

OK this might sound crazy but you may have been onto it right from the start. I was having the exact same (frustrating) problem with the URLConnection waiting forever on a dead server and no way to terminate it. I tried something like what you said in your first post:
System.setProperty("sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout", "10000");
and it worked. I played around with the number and it it was apparent to the naked eye that it was working (if you can believe that...).
Of course, I'm using JDK 1.4.1_01 by now, so this might be different now.

Properly timeout a urlconnection?

Hi,
I have been struggling to find a way to timeout a UrlConnection when it hangs on trying to connect to a site . My application has around 10 threads with each thread creating a urlconnection object and getting the inputstream. My urlconnection hangs on occasion when trying to connect to certain sites.
1. I'ved tried to create separate timer threads to launch the threads that actually make the connection. The timer threads would do a Thread.join() to the threads with the URLconnection object and do a Thread.interrupt() when it exceeds the join time limit.
This approach does not actually kill the URL connection .
And so I am left with a hanging URL connection.
2. I've also tried using Socket to connect but the timeout is only for timing out when no activity is occurring. it doesn't timeout when it hangs on trying to connect. I don't know of any way to set the timeout before the connecting action occurs.
3. I've thought about using Thread.stop() but according to the javadocs, it says this method is unsafe because it removes all the monitors.
I s there a safe way to destroy a URLconnection after a certain amount of time?
-Will

My solution was your solution 1) with the additional wrinkle that I make sure that the threads that I am going to let run away are daemon threads (xx.setDaemon(true); --> before xx.start();).
My experience is that they will eventually timeout by themselves (around 5 minutes or so; I did see a reference to 420 seconds at some point in my reading), but I am not willing to wait that long.
So I just ignore them after my Thread.join(myTimeout) period, and let the GC handle them. Seems to work ...

URL,URLConnection,HttpURLConnection &&Session

Hi,all
I want to access a web page by URL/URLConnection/HttpURLConnection
the page need a login user,it check the Session,if the session is null,then it redirect to the login page
Now I have the user ID and Password ,and I can complete my login by URL Class
but when I access the wanted page after I login,it's still return that the session is not set.
below is the Code Segment,thanx in advance
String urlStr = "http://buyc:8080/ecommerce/oa/login.jsp?txtUsername=sh001&txtPwd=111111&role=storeman";
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
HttpURLConnection hurlc =(HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
hurlc.setFollowRedirects(true);
hurlc.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
hurlc.setUseCaches(true);
hurlc.connect();//if check login successfully in login.jsp,it will redirect to a check page.
InputStream is=hurlc.getInputStream();//
byte tmpbyte[]=new byte[is.available()];
int num=is.read(tmpbyte);
String result=new String(tmpbyte);
System.out.println("the " + num + ":" + result);

IIRC, you use the UrlConnection's methods getHeaderField and getHeaderFields to get the cookies, and then setRequestProperty to set the cookies on subsequent connections. These methods are inherited by HttpUrlConnection.
There may be a library out there to make this stuff easier, but I don't think it's in the standard libraries.

Setting timeout for all the web test scripts in the solution

Hello,
I have around 16 web test scripts (using VSTS 2010 ultimate version) in my project (in a solution). By default the timeout set for each request is 60 sec. I need to increase the timeout to 180 sec. Currently, I am clicking on each request and modifying
the timeout parameter from the Properties window.
Is there any common setting for timeout available which would be acting across all the scripts?
Thanks.

Hello,
We only can set Timeouts for a separate request in Visual Studio Web Test. There is no way to set Timeout for all requests in VS IDE. But you can write you own logic code using
Timeout Property in a web test plugin to set Timeout for all requests in a web test.
About how to write a web test plugin, please see:

Setting timeout for webservice

hello all,
I have made client program to connect to a webservice using dynamic url, my problem is i am unable to set the timeout of the webservice if anybody knows please let me know. my code is as follows.
WebServiceClient ann = testpackage.TestClassService.class.getAnnotation(WebServiceClient.class);
try {
testpackage.TestClassService service = new testpackage.TestClassService(new URL("MY URL"), new QName(ann.targetNamespace(), ann.name()));
testpackage.TestClass port = service.getTestClassPort();
String result = port.getUserTask("HELLO");
System.out.println(result);
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
using this code how can i set timeout at client side
thanks in advance

hi there thanks for your reply but your solution didn't worked for me. may be because of mistake in my question explanation i will explain it again
WebServiceClient ann = testpackage.TestClassService.class.getAnnotation(WebServiceClient.class);
try {
testpackage.TestClassService service = new testpackage.TestClassService(new URL("MY URL"), new QName(ann.targetNamespace(), ann.name()));
testpackage.TestClass port = service.getTestClassPort();
String result = port.getUserTask("HELLO");
System.out.println(result);
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
using this code i am calling my webservice and the function "getUserTask" which give me some output in return.
now, what situation i am facing is whenever i make a call to the above function and if RTO occurs after the call of the function then my application comes in to a hang mode situation. and i am unable to do anything untill the reconnection of the network occurs.Either i have to wait for the reconnection or i have to terminate my applicartion.
My desire is, i should be able to set my timeout period of a web service request. if no reply comes in the given time period then i should be able to raise any message to the user.
I think ihave made myself a bit more clear.
thanks for your reply once again.

Setting timeout for SOAP requests in a webservice client

I am trying to set the timeout for a synchronous SOAP request sent to a Web Service deployed on weblogic 8.1 SP2. I tried setting timeout thru bindinginfo setTimeout() and also javax.xml.rpc.Stub _setProperty(). Both of them seem to be not working. I set the value to as low as 1 sec but i still donot get a timeout. Other properties/method from these two classes work fine though (like endpointaddress property in javax.xml.rpc.Stub and setVerbose flag to true in BindingInfo).
Can someone please help.
Thanks in Advance

Our application calls the webservice provided by another company over the internet using the ssl. We use the wsdl url of the webservice on the destination while creating the port. If the destination is not available statement which creates the port blocks for around 4 minutes.
I think the first network call gets the wsdl from the remote server. Thus we encounter delays before getting the stub created. How can I timeout such a calls.
try {
port = (new ServiceName_Impl(remoteWsdlURL)).getServiceNameSoap();
} catch (IOException e) {

How to get remaining time for baton after setting timeOut property

Hello,
Is it possible to get the remaining time for baton after setting timeOut, or do I have to maintain a separate Timer for that?
Been following this excellent tutorial here http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/create-shared-forms-in-livecycle-collaboration-serv ice/

Thanks Nigel, before reading your reply, I came up with something like this, but it seems extending the Baton class is not enough, as I would need my own BatonProperty as well that uses this extended Baton class...
Also attempted to get some help here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7116814/actionscript3-lccs-how-to-access-property-paren t-class-protected-var/7116882#7116882
Could this be made into a feature request for Baton and BatonProperty, se we could easily get the remaining time please? I guess I can wait for a future release.

Set timeout in JSP?

Hi, is possible to set timeout in a JSP?? For instance, when the user clicks on the a hyperlink it will open a page and after a time interval, the page will auto close and call the same JSP function to open the same page but with different values in it...

Hmm.. do u think it will work whereby the user will just need to click on a hyperlink once, then it will pass different value to a Javascript function each time. Coz the hyperlink that the user clicks will get the values from a text file (all the values retrieved are stored in a Vector.) which is passed to the Javascript function for loading an applet. As the applet will load some data out, hence, i need to wait till the applet finish loading, then i can call the same Javascript function again, but a different value...

Set timeout for completion of each thread

i have a requirement where i need to start n threads and set timeout for completion of each thread.
if the thread is not executed successfully(because of timeout ) i have to enter in audit table that it failed because of timeout
if executed successfully update audit table with success.
can some one give me solution for this using ThreadPoolExecutor available jdk1.5

Add a scheduled task to time out the task (when it would time out). Keep the Future and cancel it if the task completes successfully.
final Future future = executor.schedule(new TimeoutTask(), timeoutMS, TimeUnit.MILLI_SECONDS);
executor.execute(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
      try {
         task.run();
      } finally {
         future.cancel(true);
});

Need help about setting timeout webservice client.

Hi,
I trying to set timeout before make call to the webservices, my target webservice is deployed on WebLgic server 8.14 (service pack 4). Nothing just Thread.sleep for 1 min. then return some string. Here is my client code. I use the proxy generated by the workshop testing browser, "Java proxy" button.
public static void main(String a[]) {
try {
EjbTimeout_Impl proxy = new EjbTimeout_Impl();
EjbTimeoutSoap_Stub myStub = (EjbTimeoutSoap_Stub)proxy.getEjbTimeoutSoap();
BindingInfo bInfo = (BindingInfo)myStub._getProperty("weblogic.webservice.bindinginfo");
System.out.println(bInfo.getTimeout()); // print out '-1' no timeout I guess
bInfo.setTimeout(5); //secs
System.out.println(bInfo.getTimeout()); // print out '5', value change accepted
myStub._setProperty("weblogic.webservice.rpc.timeoutsecs", "5");
System.out.println(myStub._getProperty
("weblogic.webservice.rpc.timeoutsecs")); // also print '5'
String ss = myStub.sayHello("WEBLOGIC");
System.out.println(ss);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.toString());
As you see the timeout value is changed but when I call webservice from this client everything is fine. The output string ruturn from webservice is printed out after Thread.sleep(60000).
Are there any missing things about this client code, my webservice code is quite simple, or if there is some way else to achieve this ???
Many thanks.

Set TIMEOUT on OCCI sql query using ?

Is there a way to set a timeout on a sql query using OCCI ?

OCCI does not provide an API to set timeouts on SQL Queries.
You can use the CREATE PROFILE command and assign resources at
a user level. The restrictions may be applied to memory/resources which
in turn would control the SQL execution time. Please check the
CREATE PROFILE command.
