Question

I have to call a third-party Web service that frequently does not respond. I tried to timeout my requests, however, the timeout does not appear to make any difference. Can you share what I may be doing wrong?

Sample Code

ws = createObject("webservice", "http://domain.com/webservice?wsdl",{timeout=25});

Thread Stack Trace

This is where the request waiting for the Web-service will hang waiting for a response. The thread can not be killed with Fusion Reactor.

Have you tried use cfsetting requesttimeout=”25″ before webservice call?. Also if you use tag base cfinvoke with timeout property it should work for you.
