sun.rmi.transport.tcp.responseTimeout ignored

[Marcello Lorenzi]

 Hi All,
We started a new Java standalone application with OpenJDK Runtime
Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b14). This application has a network problem
to connect to a RMI service and the application threads remained in hang
status. We tried to apply the parameter sun.rmi.transport.tcp.responseTimeout
but the threads on JVM side remained in stuck and the connection to the RMI
server was in SYN_SENT status. Could it be related with bug
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8151212?

Thanks,
Marcello
