LAPI has some issues when it comes to blocking in Java. In particular, if the remote server is hung, it never times out. Example: a search call to a Livelink instance with a hosed admserv.There are some strategies for forcing a timeout in Java:a. Close the socket in a seperate thread. That would involve having access to LAPI's sockets. Any way to do this? Any undocumented API's?b. Call the deprecated stop method on Thread. Of course, it's deprecated for a reason.c. Get LAPI to set some timeout settings for it's sockets. Any way to do this?An updated LAPI that handles these issues would be appreciated.
