How to set timeout in Spring WebServiceTemplate

Question

I am using org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate for making Web Service calls. How can i configure timeout for the call.

Answer 1

If you are using Spring Webservices 2.1.0 version, You can set timeout using HttpComponentsMessageSender.

CommonsHttpMessageSender are deprecated and not recommended by Spring anymore.

The way I have it implemented, I define my WebServiceTemplate to use HttpComponentsMessageSender.

Values are in Milliseconds

Just Make sure you have in your pom file, you added the following

        org.apache.httpcomponents
        httpclient
        4.2.1
        compile
