JDK-4031100 - I need to set a timeout on a socket write
Description

Name: mc57594			Date: 02/11/97


It would be really great if I could set a timeout on the 
Socket(host, port) call.  As it is now, I have no way of 
interrupting a thread that is hung in a Socket() call.  Maybe
something like Socket(host,port,timeout).

Thanks,
   Vince Tkac

WORK AROUND Name: mc57594 Date: 02/11/97 Have the thread doing the Socket() call controlled by a master thread that will stop() and destroy() it if it goes beyond a certain timeout. This requires the master thread to poll the thread calling Socket(). ======================================================================

EVALUATION You can already timeout on read. To timeout on write, this is a duplicate of 4031100. benjamin.renaud@Eng 1997-08-26
