The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

URL openStream Timeout Error

Asked by Nivlesh in Java Programming Language

Tags: , ,

I am writing an application that will connect to a site and either post or get data from that site. Now sometimes when the network is slow, either from my side or because there is too much load on the server that I am connecting to, my program hangs and keeps hanging. Thus I have to kill the process and restart it... this is really not what I want to be doing since I want this program to be automatic and able to run with the least human intervention. Below is the code that I am using

try{
         in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new URL(response_url).openStream()));
     }catch(Exception e2){
         System.out.println("Unable to open inputstream to response url:"+e2);
     }


do{
         try{
          line = in.readLine();
          if (line != null){
              delivery_line += line + "\n";
              if (line.indexOf("success") != -1){
               sms_sent_success = true;
               line = null;
              }
          }
         }catch (Exception e3){
          System.out.println("Error reading from response site:"+e3);
          line = null;
         }
     }while (line != null);

I have traced the problem and it happens when I try to create the bufferedReader.
Is there a way by which I could specify timeout values for the connections to the sites? In that way when the connection is not established within say nsecs then I would get an exception and I could process it.
