At client site, how to set the timeout parameter for remote call?

Hi, all.

For example, I deploy a server application, and the service method is:

void hello(){
Thread.sleep(20000);//sleep 20 s
}

I use a client to connect to the server, and invoke the method, and I want to set the timeout parameter:
if this call is not return in 1000ms, abandon this call, or throw a runtime exception.

How to resolve this problem?

Thanks!

Hi,

You need to set a timeout on the proxy:

   // C++
   proxy = proxy->ice_timeout(1000);
   proxy->hello();

See the Ice manual for more information on timeouts.

Thanks for your reply.
I have found it.

Thanks!

Hi, how much is the default value of this timeout parameter?

See "Connection Timeouts" in the manual. The default is no timeout.

Cheers,

Michi.
