java in a high latency network

[xeon Mailinglist]

I am using a program that transfer files between the hosts. My problem is that the network between these hosts have a high latency (> 1sec), and sometimes my programs launch a error of "java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host; ".

I think this problem happens because of the latency. There is a way to configure the JVM for networks with high latency so that the time to try to connect to a remote host is longer?

Thanks,

I would expect a timeout and a ConnectException not a
NoRouteToHostException with a high latency. The latter implies
something blocking the connection as opposed to not accepting a
connection. Can you create an example that would cause the
NoRouteToHostException with a response delay?

I have never seen that error myself, but there are timeouts you can
configure. See http://mindprod.com/products1.html#HTTP for source.

Honestly people. How difficult is it to go to a search engine like Google and
try something like "java network timeout" One of the top choices is Oracle's
Java network properties.
