Time Out With Normal Java Method
Dear Team,
I am calling here one third party jar file which has some code written which is internally doing some S2S call to get data some times this method is not returning result and all thread are blocked here.. can some any idea is there any way so that i can put time out in normal java method while calling... so if it is not returning result in 10 second then i can throw exception and handle it this situation....
Please suggest....
Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Some suggestions:
The Timer class can be used to start a method after a fixed delay.
The Thread class's sleep method can be used to stop execution for a fixed time.
The Object class's wait method can be used to stop execution for a fixed time.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Thanks for reply..
But don't you think if we have not received response from the method then all the threads getting blocked if i use Thread class's sleep or Object class's wait method... and also please suggest if i use object class wait method then how it is being notify?
Can you help us to give some sample snippet here which will help to resolve our problem..
Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Only the thread that calls the method will get blocked. The other threads should continue executing.all the threads getting blocked
Can you post the code you are trying to modify along with a description of where you want to change it.

Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Thanks Norm,
Is there any chances of deadlock occurred in case...
Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Yes it is possible for a deadlock.

Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Is there any other way without creating thread.. we can use any API or something else?
I don't want to use thread here, causing it could raise deadlock condition...
Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Is the problem code using methods that block? Can you change that code to use non-blocking methods? Or methods that time out.
Most code of this type requires using multiple threads.

Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Can you help me here by sharing some code snippet to get idea how to i handle? If possible then asynchronous way..
Re: Time Out With Normal Java Method
Sorry, I not really sure I have any code that does what you are trying to do.
