Hello. I posted these questions to the JAX-WS mailing list last Friday but since I haven't gotten a reply, I thought I'd also ask them here as some people here who know the answers might not be on the mailing list.

Please answer whichever one(s) you can. You don't have to answer everything, of course.

I'm writing a client using JAX-WS, by the way.

Here they are:


1. Is there a way to set the timeout (for waiting for the response)? How?

2. When I get a WebServiceException (that is not a SOAPFaultException), is there a way to tell when (i.e. which stage) the exception occurred, specifically, whether or not the exception occurred while waiting for the reply (e.g. timeout)? Or do I just call the exception?s getCause() method and infer from the type of exception that it returns.

3. Is the Service-derived class (generated by wsimport) thread-safe? Can I use just a single instance and call its getPort*() method for each request? (I?m guessing yes.)

4. What about each stub/port object? Is it thread-safe? (I?m guessing no.)

Thanks in advance for your help.

I responded to your email on the maling list.

Yes, there is a new property on BindingProvider that you can use to set the timeout, the value is an Integer specified in
milliseconds
//Dispatch
dispatch.getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout", new Integer(5000));
//proxy
( (BindingProvider)proxy).getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout", new Integer(5000));
