Equivalant of a proper Circuit Breaker

[Mohan Radhakrishnan <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

        I read http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/exception-handling.html.
That is a straightforward 'retry' handler.

Is there a simple circuit breaker built into the client ? A simple one
could be something like https://github.com/resilience4j/resilience4j

Does anyone plug something like into the client ?

Thanks,
Mohan

Perhaps you should set a read-timeout and act when that timeout occurs?

I was actually asking about some failure detection patterns that could help
me find out when a SOAP web service is not responding in time. I know it is
hard to detect that.
