Exception trying to set CXF timeout

Question

I'm trying to specify the timeout for a CXF service. I'm using the Play Framework along with JAX-RS and CXF (I've tried multiple versions,3.07 and 3.10).

This is the exception that I get:

    </http-conf:conduit>
</beans>

I receive this message only if the http-conf:conduit matches the service; if I put some random name like , then I receive no exception (but no timeout, either).

Any ideas?

I had a similar issue when using CXF on Play Framework. I don't know exactly why, but you cannot use the *.http-conduit wildcard. You have to specify directly the hostname : <http-conf:conduit name="https://example.com">

And if you have multiple web services, you can use regexp to match all of them.

Example: if you have https://example.com/service1 and https://example.com/service2 endpoints, the configuration would be <http-conf:conduit name="https://example.com/.*">

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I've tried that and I still receive the same error (like ; also tried with regex name="https://example.com:5678.*" and name="https://example.com:5678/service.asmx.*" ) – Vlad Dinulescu Feb 20 '17 at 09:29
@VladDinulescu Did you try to add the protocol? I think you have to specify it: `name="https://example.com:5678/.*"`. Maybe the issue is not with the http-conf:conduit. Is it normal that the `jaxws:client` `address` is `"https://example.com"`? It should be the full web service endpoint: `"https://example.com:5678/service.asmx"` – Damien Beaufils Feb 20 '17 at 17:07
Well... I did add the protocol; I think StackOverflow formatted my comment and I didn't notice. Also, about the jaxws:client address, yes, I put the full webservice endpoint, but I don't want to put it on SO because of privacy purposes. (as I said in the description, I can fully access the service, it's just that I cannot set the timeouts properly). – Vlad Dinulescu Feb 20 '17 at 21:19
@VladDinulescu Maybe you could try a Java configuration instead of XML? See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21223626/apache-cxf-spring-java-config-no-xml – Damien Beaufils Feb 22 '17 at 09:00
