Connection timeout in java?

Question

Is there any way to fire an event if HttpURLConnection has timeout before complete?

Answer 1

There is no built-in timeout for this. What I do is to use a different thread and interrupt the thread after the timeout.

It's easier to use FutureTask for this. See my answer to this question,
