Any way to specify connect timeout separate from socket time

[javajedi]

From the remoting docs:

"timeout - The socket timeout value passed to the Socket.setSoTimeout() method."

Is there any way to configure the socket's connect timeout separately?

Which Remoting transport are you using?

Sorry, I mentioned it in the subject line, but the forums truncated it. :) I'm using the socket transport (1.4.4).

Hey Tim,

Ok, I'm assuming that you're talking about the time spent in java.net.Socket.connect(). Note that the socket transport uses connection pools, so a given invocation may or may not need to create and connect a new socket.

Now, Remoting 2.2.0 has a "per invocation" timeout facility which limits the time taken by a single invocation. See Section 5.8.2 "Per invocation timeouts" in the Remoting Guide (http://labs.jboss.com/jbossremoting/docs/guide/ch05.html#d0e5415 ) for more information. If the invocation needs to create a socket, the remaining time until timeout will be passed to the java.net.Socket method

public void connect(SocketAddress endpoint, int timeout) throws IOException

After the socket is created, any remaining time until timeout will be available for the actual invocation.

I'm not sure if that helps. If not, can you say more about what you're trying to do?
