Class RequestConfiguration


  • public final class RequestConfiguration
    extends java.lang.Object
    Specifies configuration settings that apply to network requests such as the maximum number of retries or a timeout.

    By default, all instances of RemoteResource share a default global RequestConfiguration; the default values for each parameter are described in the getter and setter methods below. You can replace the global default RequestConfiguration using the static method setGlobalRequestConfiguration(RequestConfiguration). For example, you can change the global RequestConfiguration to add an HTML header to all requests without having to set a RequestConfiguration on every RemoteResource.

    Occasionally, you may want to set different configurations on different RemoteResources. To do this, create a new configuration and pass it to RemoteResource.setRequestConfiguration(RequestConfiguration). The new configuration will be used for any request made through the context of that object, such as all requests made using a specific Portal instance. The object-specific RequestConfiguration overrides the global RequestConfiguration described above.

    To stop using an object-specific RequestConfiguration that you previously set, set it back to null. After this is done, requests made through that object will revert to use the global RequestConfiguration.
