C++ SOAP TimeOut Problem

[Karthik Chavan]

We have developed a webservice client in C++ using SOAP toolkit. Different requests are sent to the web service sequentially in a loop.

Problem is that if one request fails for genuine “TIMEOUT”, all successive request fails with “TIMEOUT”.


We have 1,2,3,4 and 5 request in a loop. Request 3 fails for genuine TIME OUT

1,2,3,4,5 -
1,2 - Success
3,4,5 - Failed

1,2,4,5,3
1,2,4,5 – Success
3 Failed


1,2,4,3,5

1,2,4 – Success
3,5 – Failed

3,1,2,4,5

All failed

Can anyone tell me why failure is happening? I know 3 is the culprit, but why it is affecting successive web service calls

[ashitpro]

when you try for third attempt and due to some reason if your network goes down,
then in that case your all successive calls will be failed.

How did you set TimeOut for SOAP webservice client?
