# Setting Timeout For JAX-RS / TomEE CXF Client

The name of the "read" and "connection" timeout properties is not standardized in Java EE 7. For TomEE / CXF clients 
you will have to use the "CXF-proprietary" names:


import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
client.property("http.connection.timeout", 500L);
client.property("http.receive.timeout", 500L);



The name differs in Jersey (used in GlassFish / Payara), but the semantics are the same.
