Setting SO_TIMEOUT on client socket channel

[chudak]

This is what we are doing. Our client wrapper wraps the socket factory
(either regular or SSL):


public ClientSocketFactoryWrapper(SocketFactory socketFactory, int
soTimeout) {
    this.socketFactory = socketFactory;
    this.soTimeout = soTimeout;
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
    return setOptions(socketFactory.createSocket());
}

snip...

protected Socket setOptions(Socket socket) throws SocketException {
    socket.setSoTimeout(soTimeout);
    return socket;
}


This wrapped socket factory is then injected into our custom
OioClientSocketChannelFactory which then passes it to a custom
OioClientSocketChannel which allows us to intercept the call below that
manually creates a new socket and instead uses the socket factory:

OioClientSocketChannel(
            ChannelFactory factory,
            ChannelPipeline pipeline,
            ChannelSink sink) {

        super(null, factory, pipeline, sink, new Socket());

        fireChannelOpen(this);
}

We are currently setting the SO_TIMEOUT to a minute:

private static final int SOCKET_SO_TIMEOUT_IN_MS = 60000;
public void setSocketFactory(SocketFactory factory) {
        this.socketFactory = new ClientSocketFactoryWrapper(factory,
SOCKET_SO_TIMEOUT_IN_MS);
    }


The only places that I've found you set the socket timeout in the OIO code
is in the OioDatagramChannel where you set it to 10ms:

socket.setSoTimeout(10);

And in the OioServerSocketChannel where you set it to 1 second:

socket.setSoTimeout(1000);

However, we are using netty in a client application so it is not opening a
server socket, it is opening a client socket (OioClientSocketChannel)
