Restlet timeout

How does one change the timeout on a Restlet Client get()?

All I've have been able to find is the obsolete SetConnectTimeout(). I tried context.getParameters().add ( "socketTimeout", "1000" ); with no success.

Basically, this is done by configuring the client connector (class org.restlet.Client):

client.context.getParameters().add ( "parameter", "value" );

I see two distinct contexts and thus two ways to get the client connector.

  1. You are running your client calls inside a org.restlet.Component container In this case, configure the common client connector hosted by the component:

    Component c = new Component();
Client client = c.getClients().add(Protocol.HTTP);
client.getContext().getParameters().add ( "parameter", "value" );

  2. You are not running your client calls inside a org.restlet.Component container In this case, instantiate manually the client connector and set it to the ClientResource

    Client client = new Client(new Context(), Protocol.HTTP);
client.getContext().getParameters().add ( "parameter", "value" );

ClientResource cr = new ClientResource("http://example.com");
cr.setNext(client);

To conclude with, the list of available parameters to be set depends on the kind of client connector you are using (internal connector, based on httpclient, etc) You can have a look at this page http://restlet.com/learn/guide/2.2/core/base/connectors/.
