Setting timeout of web service client

Question

I created a web service client using the java proxy for
a web service by running my web service in weblogic workshop test browser and by using
the jar file created by clicking on "Java Proxy" button.
i am calling my web service my adding code similar to this and it works
HelloWorld_Impl proxy = new HelloWorld_Impl();
HelloWorldSoap soapProxy = proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
But, i am not sure how to set the timeout of my client programatically.
Is there a way to do this ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Anyway,
I figured it out myself, by looking at other posts and applying some reflection API
HelloWorld_Impl proxy = new HelloWorld_Impl();
HelloWorldSoap soapProxy = proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
// I learnt that this soapProxy is infact an object of HelloWorldSoap_Stub class
HelloWorldSoap_Stub myStub = (HelloWorldSoap_Stub)proxy.getHelloWorldSoap();
BindingInfo bInfo = (BindingInfo)myStub._getProperty("weblogic.webservice.bindinginfo");
bInfo.setTimeout(5); //secs
myStub._setProperty("weblogic.webservice.rpc.timeoutsecs", "5"); // secs
// finally you can call the methods of the web service
soapProxy.Hello();
Please be aware that, upon time out, you would get an exception : <class = java.rmi.RemoteException
cause = javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: javax.xml.rpc.JAXRPCException:java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out.>
Also, my env : Weblogic 8.1 SP4
