How to modify the default client connection timeout value?

["Marepalli, Hanumantha Rao" <Ha...@iona.com>]

Hi,

 

I'm running concurrent clients; each client sends requests to the
endpoint for a specified duration, say 5 minutes. Some of my clients get
"java.net.ConnectException: Cannot assign requested address" while
establishing connection to the server. To rule out the possibility of
connection timeout, I increased client connection/receive timeout values
to 5 minutes through configuration, but it did not make any difference.


 

So wondering whether the following approach to modify the client
connection/receive timeout values is correct (The endpointName of my
service is SoapPort and it is listening on 20003 port) -

 

1. I created xml config file (cxf-config.xml) with the following info -

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       xmlns:http="http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration"

       xsi:schemaLocation="

http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http/configuration
http://cxf.apache.org/schema/transports/http.xsd

http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

 

    <http:conduit
id="{http://cxf.apache.org/performance/complex_type}SoapPort20003.http-c
onduit">

        <http:client ConnectionTimeout="300000"
ReceiveTimeout="300000"/>

    </http:conduit>

</beans>

 

2. Supplied the "cxf-config.xml" file as an argument to the
cxf.client.run macro, like
jvmarg1="-Dcxf.config.file=wsdl/cxf-config.xml

 

Does anyone confirm the way I configured is correct? Is there anyway to
find out whether the timeout value that I specified has actually been
picked up? It does not seem to be making any difference, even I set
reduce the timeout value to 1 ms (my invocation takes about 10 ms).

 

Thanks and Regards

I meant to write:

      policy.setConnectionTimeout(300000);

You can programmatically navigate from your proxy (e.g. the Greeter
instance) to the effective HTTPClientPolicy (into which your configured
timeout should have been injected) as follows:

import org.apache.cxf.endpoint.Client;
import org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ClientImpl;
import org.apache.cxf.frontend.ClientProxy;
import org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit;
import org.apache.cxf.transports.http.configuration.HTTPClientPolicy;

//...

    Client client = ClientProxy.getClient(greeter);
    HTTPConduit conduit = (HTTPConduit)client.getConduit();
    HTTPClientPolicy policy = conduit.getClient();
    System.out.println("connection timeout: " +
policy.getConnectionTimeout());

Similarly you can set this value programmatically:

    policy.getConnectionTimeout(300000);

Remember, this is a connection establishment timeout, not an invocation
timeout. So your configured 1ms value bounds the time available to
establish the connection, *not* the time required to deliver the request
and receive the response.

If you want to set the overall invocation timeout, you can do so
programmatically (to say 30 seconds) via:

    ((ClientImpl)client).setSynchronousTimeout(30 * 1000);
