Http :Connect Timeout and Read Timeout for Urlstreamhandler with Saaj Working for Windows But Not Working on Linux Sytem

Setting socket read timeout with javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection

You have to create your own URLStreamHandler so that you can set URLConnection parameters like connection timeout and read timeout.

SOAPConnection connection = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance().createConnection();
URL endpoint =
  new URL(new URL("http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/"),
          "/path/to/webservice",
          new URLStreamHandler() {
            @Override
            protected URLConnection openConnection(URL url) throws IOException {
              URL target = new URL(url.toString());
              URLConnection connection = target.openConnection();
              // Connection settings
              connection.setConnectTimeout(10000); // 10 sec
              connection.setReadTimeout(60000); // 1 min
              return(connection);
            }
          });

SOAPMessage result = connection.call(soapMessage, endpoint);

I have removed some try/catch for clarity.

How to view/change socket connection timeout on Linux?

I think you want /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syn_retries. The default is usually 5 or 6 which comes out to around 3 minutes.

Note that these are system-wide.

How do I set the timeout for a JAX-WS webservice client?

I know this is old and answered elsewhere but hopefully this closes this down. I'm not sure why you would want to download the WSDL dynamically but the system properties:

sun.net.client.defaultConnectTimeout (default: -1 (forever))
sun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout (default: -1 (forever))

should apply to all reads and connects using HttpURLConnection which JAX-WS uses. This should solve your problem if you are getting the WSDL from a remote location - but a file on your local disk is probably better!

Next, if you want to set timeouts for specific services, once you've created your proxy you need to cast it to a BindingProvider (which you know already), get the request context and set your properties. The online JAX-WS documentation is wrong, these are the correct property names (well, they work for me).

MyInterface myInterface = new MyInterfaceService().getMyInterfaceSOAP();
Map<String, Object> requestContext = ((BindingProvider)myInterface).getRequestContext();
requestContext.put(BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT, 3000); // Timeout in millis
requestContext.put(BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 1000); // Timeout in millis
myInterface.callMyRemoteMethodWith(myParameter);

Of course, this is a horrible way to do things, I would create a nice factory for producing these binding providers that can be injected with the timeouts you want.
