[omniORB] Using TCP_USER_TIMEOUT in OmniORB4.1.6 ?

[Ravi K Kulkarni]

Hello,

We have OmniORB 4.1.6 running on Linux Kernel 2.6.32. We have a client 
server architecture where in client needs to identify the failure of the 
server application when the system hosting the server is taking reset. Due 
to change in TCP in 2.6.32, client waits almost 10 minutes+ before giving 
up on a Send call if the Server system reset while the Send call is being 
made.

We do not want to use setCLientCallTimeout since that will result in 
timeout even if Server delays sending the response by some time due to 
some system parameters.

So we want to bail out only on true connection issues.

So one of the option was to use TCP_USER_TIMEOUT ( 
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/tcp.7.html ) so we can have a control 
over TCP to TCP communication.

Questions :

1/. Is there a way to get the Socket Descriptors value from a Object 
Reference ?. If so, I can get the sockfd and then do a setsockopt

2/. Will OmniORB provide any mechanism to make use of TCP_USER_TIMEOUT ?

Truly appreciate your help on this.

Thank you,


Thanks and regards
