RestTemplate — default timeout value

Question

What is the default timeout value when using Spring\'s RestTemplate?

For e.g., I am invoking a web service like this:

RestTemplate restT

You can use ClientHttpRequestFactory param in the RestTemplate constructor:

private final int HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 15000;
private final int HTTP_READ_TIMEOUT = 10000;

private ClientHttpRequestFactory getClientHttpRequestFactory() {
    HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory clientHttpRequestFactory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory();
    clientHttpRequestFactory.setConnectTimeout(HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT);
    clientHttpRequestFactory.setReadTimeout(HTTP_READ_TIMEOUT);
    return clientHttpRequestFactory;
}

When you need a new RestTemplate, create it like this example:

RestTemplate rt = new RestTemplate(getClientHttpRequestFactory());
