Connetion timeout in jboss

[venuwin]

Hi,

I have a query which is as follows:

1. I run the appln on jboss4.0.5GA. This server instance serves client requests and returns back a response.
2. Some classes in the deployed EAR files (under Jboss) that are connecting to some other vendor website.

From server.xml, i am able to see "connectionTimeout="20000" " in HTTPConnector section.

When the classes in the EAR try to connect to some external URL, it fails to connect after 2-3 days. Upto 2-3 days, no issue comes up.

What is wrong?
How do we handle this ?

Will connectiontimeout control the action of connecting to the same server ?
Pls help!

Thanks
Venu

Not sure. The question looks too specific to your application. Let's see what more information we can get:

When the classes in the EAR try to connect to some external URL,

How do you do that? Any code/configuration files that you can post?

it fails to connect after 2-3 days.

Always after 2-3 days? And what exactly does a "fail" mean? Any exception stacktrace? Error message? Any logs?

Hi Jaikiran,

We have a HTTPUnit module that sits inside an EAR along with some EJBs and all. The servlet would invoke a HTTPUnit class for fetching some information from few websites. This HTTPUnit class would fill some web forms in 2rd party websites and submit them. The servlet would get the response and send it back to the caller.

Fails means :

Connection timed out exception. This happens after 2-3 days mostly.
