Getting to Status DISCONNECTED

[zumb001]

Hello,
I am working on connection troubleshooting for my implementation of the Java SE Client 4.3.8 and there is a functionality I can't seem to figure out. I have a primary and secondary connection hence, if my client disconnects and the connection cannot be recovered I would like to manually swap over to my other connection, however, despite messing around with the values in the connection options I can't seem to get my client to go into status DISCONNECTED.

It simply loops between DISCONNECTED:WILL-RETRY and CONNECTING indefinitely. I would like it to retry a few times (maybe for 30 seconds or so) but eventually give up. This seems like something that would be supported in the connection options but I can't seem to figure it out. I appreciate any pointers, thank you.

The Lightstreamer Client SDK does not provide an option to configure a timeout such that if a connection cannot be established within the timeout, then the client is forced to give up.
However you can easily implement a similar functionality by using the same pattern that was discussed in your previous thread:

Timer timer = null;


void onStatusChange(status) {
  if (status.equals("DISCONNECTED:WILL-RETRY")) {
    if (timer == null) {
      timer = new Timer();
      timer.schedule(() -> {
        if (!client.getStatus().startsWith("CONNECTED")) {
          client.disconnect();
        }
      }, TIMEOUT);
    }
  }
}

Hey, thanks again for another reply! Yeah, I have a similar functionality to above up and running, was just hoping there was a cleaner way using only the lightstreamer built in functionality. Thanks for the help, good to know it just isn't an option.
