how to increase jersey WS timeout

Question

How do I increase the jersey WS timeout? It is waiting on a call which takes around 2 minutes. It is timing out at WS layer. Do I have to increase client timeout as well? What are the defaults for these?

Answer 1

You can use the two methods setConnectTimeOut and the setReadTimeout on your Client instance. The documentation specifies that the default values for both are null and thus the timeouts infinite.

Answer 2

Do make sure to set the setReadTimeout as per the need of your application as setting connection timeout would be partial job done.
