I am trying to create a rest client on a JBoss EAP
server, and I need to make sure that a timeout will end the connection if it gets stuck.
My code looks like this:
int timeout = 5000;
RequestConfig defaultRequestConfig = RequestConfig.custom().setConnectionRequestTimeout(timeout).setSocketTimeout(timeout).setConnectTimeout(timeout).build();
HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClientBuilder.create();
HttpClient httpClient = builder.setDefaultRequestConfig(defaultRequestConfig).build();
// Previous try
// HttpClients.custom().setDefaultRequestConfig(defaultRequestConfig).build();
ClientExecutor executor = new ApacheHttpClient4Executor(httpClient);
ClientRequest cr = new ClientRequest("http://www.someserviceurl.com/", executor);
JSONObject jData = new JSONObject();
jData.put("param1", param1);
jData.put("param2", param2);
cr.accept("application/json");
cr.body("application/json", jData.toString());
ClientResponse<String> cres = cr.post(String.class);
Currently this code does not get a timeout, but just gets stuck forever. What am I doing wrong?
Offical answer from Jboss Support is to Use a config builder and apply it implementing the method loadHttpMethod in class ApacheHttpClient4Executor. Here's an example of a client with a few configuration:
import org.apache.http.client.config.RequestConfig;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpRequestBase;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
import org.jboss.resteasy.client.ClientRequest;
import org.jboss.resteasy.client.ProxyFactory;
import org.jboss.resteasy.client.core.executors.ApacheHttpClient4Executor;
// ......
RequestConfig.Builder requestBuilder = RequestConfig.custom();
requestBuilder.setConnectTimeout(100);
requestBuilder.setSocketTimeout(100);
requestBuilder.setConnectionRequestTimeout(100);
final RequestConfig config = requestBuilder.build();
HttpClientBuilder httpClientBuilder = HttpClientBuilder.create();
httpClientBuilder.setDefaultRequestConfig(config);
CloseableHttpClient client = httpClientBuilder.build();
ApacheHttpClient4Executor executor = new ApacheHttpClient4Executor(
client) {
@Override
public void loadHttpMethod(ClientRequest request,
HttpRequestBase httpMethod) throws Exception {
httpMethod.setConfig(config);
super.loadHttpMethod(request, httpMethod);
}
};
// use it in your ClientRequest or Proxy interface
final FooService fooService = ProxyFactory.create(FooService.class, host, executor);
Apparently this is a known issue with RestEasy
that was fixed on version 3.0.9.Final
.
You can see the bug report here.
To fix it, upgrade RestEasy
or use the deprecated DefaultHttpClient
:
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpParams params = httpClient.getParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(params, timeout);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(params, timeout);
ClientExecutor executor = new ApacheHttpClient4Executor(httpClient);
ClientRequest cr = new ClientRequest("http://www.someserviceurl.com/", executor);
