How to set request timeout for JMX Connector

Question

I'm trying to set request timeout for JMX Connector but seems like it doesn't work.

env.put("jmx.remote.x.request.waiting.timeout", new Long(30000));

But since it didn't work, i googled to see the reason and found out that in standard JMX remote api doesn't support the above environment variable.

Is there any other way to set the request time-out?

Answer 1

If you use default JMX protocol - the RMI - then the best option for the client side timeout is the global RMI connection timeout. Of course it will work only if you do not need to use RMI connections that have to be open forever.

Here is sample property for the timeouts (taken from Oracle RMI documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/rmi/sunrmiproperties.html):

-Dsun.rmi.transport.tcp.responseTimeout=60000

I have tested it, it really works. In the oracle documentation there are also few other useful properties for client and server side of the communication.

u can try these codes to set the JMX connector timeout:

   JMXConnector connectWithTimeout(JMXServiceURL url, long timeout, TimeUnit unit) {
    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
       Future<JMXConnector> future = executor.submit(new Callable<JMXConnector>() {
            public JMXConnector call() {
                return JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url);
            }
              });
       return future.get(timeout, unit);
          }
