Interruptible I/O for ObjectInputStream

Thread view:

John English - 30 Sep 2005 12:21 GMT

Folks,
Can anyone tell me how to set matters up so that an ObjectInputStream
(connected to a socket) can be made to time out if nothing is available
to be read within a specified timeout period?

I'm using 1.4.2, BTW.

TIA,

Have you tried Socket.setSoTimeout(int)?

Ah, of course -- silly me, I was worrying about the ObjectInputStream and
had forgotten that I can time out the socket...

Many thanks.

You can then on the tick check if nothing has happened since the last
tick.
