[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - How to set a RMI client timeout?

[j0llyr0g3r]

Hey folks,

i am having a hard time trying to figure out to set the client timeout for an RMI-client connected to a Stateless Session Bean.

First i thought that this was not a Jboss specific question, but a RMI issue, that's why i asked here first: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5300931

In the course of the thread above it turned out to be a Jboss issue (at least thats what i think...), since my client uses Jboss RMI libraries.

Let me clarify the situation:

- I have a RMI-client
- This client connects to a Stateless Session Bean running within a Jboss 4.2.2 like this:

Hashtable<String, String> props = new Hashtable<String, String>();	
  | props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory");
  | props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, ....);
  | props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, ....);
  | props.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, ....);
  | Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
  | .... = ctx.lookup(....)
  | 
- Now sometimes the methods the EJB calls take a looooong time
- That's why i want my client to terminate the connection after a certain amount of time

Now i tried to set all the timeouts mentioned in the thread above:

anonymous wrote :  
  | 	
  | RMI client Connect timeout:
  | -Dsun.rmi.transport.proxy.connectTimeout=timeout. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/rmi/sunrmiproperties.html
  | 
  | RMI client Handshake timeout:
  | sun.rmi.transport.tcp.handshakeTimeout (see ditto).
  | 
  | RMI client read timeout (for the response):
  | sun.rmi.transport.tcp.responseTimeout (undocumented).

But these timeouts are simply ignored by my client, so i think this is a Jboss issue...

Any ideas?
