Re: timeout for fetching

Just wanted to mention that the latest version in CVS has now timeout handling.  You'll have to use HttpClientFeedFetcher instead of HttpURLFeedFetcher if you want to take advantage of it. Thanks to Mark Woodman for the inspiration.

 

Another enhancement is additional support for method parameters via callback.

 

Hope this helps.

Subject: timeout for fetching

Hello,

I am using rome fetcher to do a project.  I need however a way of timing out the fetch operation. Sometimes a server is off or some problem happens, and it gets stuck forever.
fetcher does not seem to have a set timeout method. I am using something like:

            URL feedUrl = new URL(url);
            HttpURLFeedFetcher fetcher = new HttpURLFeedFetcher();

            FetcherEventListenerImpl listener = new FetcherEventListenerImpl();
            fetcher.addFetcherEventListener(listener);
            System.err.println("Retrieving feed " + feedUrl);

            SyndFeed feed;

            feed = fetcher.retrieveFeed(feedUrl);
           


any ideas?

-Best.
