Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

When we use SOAPConnection to send a message to remote server, and the server just hangs (no reply at all), how can we cancel the waiting after a specified amount of time (let's say 30 seconds)?

Currently, the call() waits indefinitely long (1 hour at least).

P.S. the overall code with some omissions:

SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory
.newInstance();

SOAPConnection connection = soapConnectionFactory
.createConnection();

URL endpoint = new URL(serverURL);

response = connection.call(message, endpoint);
