Spring Boot Application - what is default timeout for any rest API endpoint or a easy config to control all endpoint timeout

Question

I am using current Spring boot version (1.4.x) and wondering if it has any default timeout for api calls. I have tested it by putting breakpoints but it was keep waiting and

Answer 1

There are a couple of ways to do this:

1) Using ClientHttpRequestFactory with RestTemplate:

public RestTemplate restTemplate() {
    return new RestTemplate(clientHttpRequestFactory());
}

private ClientHttpRequestFactory clientHttpRequestFactory() {
    HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory factory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory();
    factory.setReadTimeout(timeinMillis);
    factory.setConnectTimeout(timeinMillis);
    return factory;
}

2) Second way is to use callable but I guess you have already explored that solution.
