[infinispan-dev] HotRodClient SocketTimeout behavior during Continuous Queries

[Stelios Koussouris]

Looking at Remote Listeners and Continuous Queries last week I noticed that after the default 60secs of inactivity the socket maintained open for server to client push of grid events was closed with java.net.SocketTimeoutException and the client had no way of recovering.

I am not sure if this was intentional feature so that inactive connections are closed but the way to overcome this was to set sockettimeout(0).

However, even this solution is not perfect as in an environment where client/server are separated by a firewall the "inactive" connection could be closed by the firewall.

It be useful to "refresh" the connection at SOCKET_TIMEOUT-x Time to ensure this doesn't occur.
