Hello,

Thank you very much for these informations about timeout.

About connectTimeout set with properties, I have made a mistake while saying that it doesn't works. I am sorry.

I fact, I made an error while 'simulating' a connect timeout I use kill -STOP to the mysqld process, but the java connect() function was
succesful. My test program was hang, because I didn't set a socketTimeout, so the doHandshake method (from MysqlIO) was hang.

I don't know how to simulated a connect timeout. If no mysqld is running, I immediately catch a ConnectException: Connection
refused, not a SocketTimeoutException.

Regards.
