How to set the connection and read timeout with Jersey 2.x?
You may also specify a timeout per request :
public static void main(String[] args) {
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
WebTarget target = client.target("http://1.2.3.4:8080");
// default timeout value for all requests
client.property(ClientProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 1000);
client.property(ClientProperties.READ_TIMEOUT, 1000);
try {
Invocation.Builder request = target.request();
// overriden timeout value for this request
request.property(ClientProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 500);
request.property(ClientProperties.READ_TIMEOUT, 500);
String responseMsg = request.get(String.class);
System.out.println("responseMsg: " + responseMsg);
} catch (ProcessingException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
}
}
Starting from jersey 2.26 (which uses JAX-RS 2.1) there are new methods for that:
ClientBuilder builder = ClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.connectTimeout(5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.readTimeout(5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
//some more calls if necesary, e.g.
//.register(LoggingFilter.class);
Client restClient = builder.build();
The code below works for me in Jersey 2.3.1 (inspiration found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19541931/1617124)
public static void main(String[] args) {
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
client.property(ClientProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 1000);
client.property(ClientProperties.READ_TIMEOUT, 1000);
WebTarget target = client.target("http://1.2.3.4:8080");
try {
String responseMsg = target.path("application.wadl").request().get(String.class);
System.out.println("responseMsg: " + responseMsg);
} catch (ProcessingException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
}
}
