Hi Henri,
Thanks very much for your response. I tried using your example code below
but there is not a setConnectionTimeout method in the HttpClient class in
xmlrpc-2.1.-dev. There is, however, a setTimeout method.
Right now my code looks like this:
CommonsXmlRpcTransportFactory transportFactory = new
CommonsXmlRpcTransportFactory(
url);
transportFactory.setConnectionTimeout(connectionTimeout);
transportFactory.setTimeout(requestTimeout);
fClient = new XmlRpcClient(url, transportFactory);
Is the above the right approach?
Also, can you comment on what it means in the javadoc for 2.1-dev where it
says that the CommonsXmlRpcTransportFactory isn't thread safe?
Thanks very much, again.
Cheers,
Chris
