How to Set Timeout for JAX-WS WebService Call

Question

I\'m working on a WebService Client and I want to set a Timeout for my WebService Call. I have tried different approaches but still I\'m not able to achieve this. I\'m using

Answer 1

Like kolossus said you should use:

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties     

And String values are:

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.connect.timeout
com.sun.xml.internal.ws.request.timeout

Although internal packages shouldn't be used, this is the only way if you work with default JDK6. So, in this case setting receive and connect timeout should be done with:

bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT,requestTimeoutMs);

bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT,connectTimeoutMs);

But beware, constant values are different if you are using other JAXWS reference implementation, i.e. JAXWS-RT 2.1.4 BindingProviderProperties:

com.sun.xml.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties

you will have different String values for REQUEST_TIMEOUT and CONNECT_TIMEOUT:

com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout
com.sun.xml.ws.connect.timeout

I have a old installation runtime that have this environment: Jdk-1.5, Jboss-4.2.3.GA and the WSClient was created by JAX-WS specification 2.0.

to activate Soap Request Timeout I use the follow code ((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put(org.jboss.ws.core.StubExt.PROPERTY_CLIENT_TIMEOUT, String.valueOf(readTimeout));

and the jar jbossws-client.jar copied in jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\lib\

Setting the following options works for me. I am using the Metro JAXWS implementation.

((BindingProvider)portType).getRequestContext().put(JAXWSProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 10000);
((BindingProvider) portType).getRequestContext().put(JAXWSProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 50000);

portType is the Web Service endpoint interface.

Values of the above fields from the com.sun.xml.internal.ws.developer.JAXWSProperties

public static final java.lang.String CONNECT_TIMEOUT = "com.sun.xml.internal.ws.connect.timeout";
public static final java.lang.String REQUEST_TIMEOUT = "com.sun.xml.internal.ws.request.timeout";

For me setting javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout and javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout solved the problem.

((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout", timeout);
((BindingProvider)port).getRequestContext().put("javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout", timeout);

Upgrade jbossws-native library and use StubExt.PROPERTY_CLIENT_TIMEOUT

For upgrading jbossws-native, follow this link.

*jbossws-native-3.4.0 is the latest supported version for Jboss 5.1.0GA. You can see JBossWS - Supported Target Containers

This worked for me

Answer 6

You could try these settings (they are paired to be used in pairs)

BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT
BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT

BindingProviderProperties should be from com.sun.xml.internal.WS.client

Or the strings for JBoss:

javax.xml.ws.client.connectionTimeout
javax.xml.ws.client.receiveTimeout

All properties to be put on getRequestContext() in milliseconds.

(BindingProvider)wsPort).getRequestContext().put(BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, yourTimeoutInMillisec);

For JBoss specifically, you might want to use the property StubExt.PROPERTY_CLIENT_TIMEOUT from org.jboss.ws.core.StubExt. See this thread for details.
