Web service client timing out.

[Rohit Chaudhary]

Hi all,

I have a scenario in my project where a web service client is timing out if web service takes longer to respond. Observed that it times out if response is not received in around 30 sec.
The exception says:


Call to web service failed. SOAPFaultException
javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Exception during processing: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out (see Fault Detail for stacktrace)
at weblogic.webservice.core.ClientDispatcher.receive(ClientDispatcher.java:317)
at weblogic.webservice.core.ClientDispatcher.dispatch(ClientDispatcher.java:147)
at weblogic.webservice.core.DefaultOperation.invoke(DefaultOperation.java:473)
at weblogic.webservice.core.DefaultOperation.invoke(DefaultOperation.java:459)
at weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.CallImpl.invoke(CallImpl.java:569)
at weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.CallImpl.invoke(CallImpl.java:422)

Web service deployed is rpc based java web service.
How do we increase/decrease the timeout for web service client. What parameter do we need to set?

Client code:

Service service = null;
				try {
					service = factory.createService(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
				} catch (Exception e) { // javax.xml.rpc.ServiceException
					e.printStackTrace();
					Logger.error(this.getClass(), "couldnt connect to passed URL exception is :" + e + ");
					String farmZero = getURL("farm0");

					if (farmZero.equals(this.serverId)){  // farm zero doesnt exists
						return "PROCESSLOCAL";
					}
					wsdlLocation = new URL(farmZero + "ConfigurationService?wsdl");
					service = factory.createService(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
				}
				Call call = service.createCall(portName, operationName);
				
				
				
				Object returnObj = null;
				Object[] objArgs = new Object[] { request };
				returnObj = call.invoke(objArgs);
				response = (String) returnObj;

I have only attached partial code here. What i want to know is if there is any parameter which i can set here in code or any other way so that my client doesnt time out?

thanks in advance.
