Java RMI – Client Timeout

For socket read timeout, you can set your own factory like this,

           RMISocketFactory.setSocketFactory( new RMISocketFactory()
            {
                public Socket createSocket( String host, int port )
                    throws IOException
                {
                    Socket socket = new Socket();
                    socket.setSoTimeout( timeoutMillis );
                    socket.setSoLinger( false, 0 );
                    socket.connect( new InetSocketAddress( host, port ), timeoutMillis );
                    return socket;
                }

                public ServerSocket createServerSocket( int port )
                    throws IOException
                {
                    return new ServerSocket( port );
                }
            } );
