Catch SocketTimeOutException In cxf Jaxrsclient

Question

I am making a rest call using apache cxf . I am able to set timeout during invoking a service and corresponding socketConnection timeout exception gets thrown but i am not able to catch the exception and set it as user definied exception. Please find the below code for time out exception

try{
    HTTPClientPolicy clientConfig = WebClient.getConfig(service).getHttpConduit().getClient(); clientConfig.setReceiveTimeout(10000);} 
catch(SocketTimeOutException e) {
          logger.error("");
         CustomException....
    }

Exception gets thrown without going inside catch block. Could someone tell me how can i catch this exception?

Answer 1

try to write

catch(Exception e) {
      logger.error("");
     CustomException....
}

instead of your code. Then you can catch the exception and handle it.
