SocketTimeoutException when calling a web service from a WD application

Question

I'm trying to call a method of a web service from my WD application. The execution of the method longs more than 60 sec, so I'm always getting:
Service call exception; nested exception is: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
I've got this post, which tells to change the property "socketTimeout" of the client.
Read Timed Out Error
But I don't know what is the client in my WD application, does this refer to the logical port ?
I've tried inserting this into wdInit:
com.hesa.hesanet3.h3wsmodel.proxies.Hesanet3Impl service = com.hesa.hesanet3.h3wsmodel.H3WSModel.getServiceImpl();
logicalPort =(com.hesa.hesanet3.h3wsmodel.proxies.Hesanet3ViDocument) service.getLogicalPort("Config1Port_Document", com.hesa.hesanet3.h3wsmodel.proxies.Hesanet3ViDocument.class);
logicalPort._setProperty("socketTimeout", "30000");
But it doesn't work.
I've tried getting the logical port from the model object corresponding to the method of the webservice unsuccesfully.
I've tried with Visual Administrator -> instance -> Web Service Container -> Settings -> WS Clients Socket Timeout, increasing to 120 secs. No result, still stop at 60s.
I've tried with Visual Admin -> global configuration -> Http provider -> KeepAliveTimeout, increasing to 120 secs, and still stop at 60s.
I can't change model object code, but I've tried to debug it and setting the property in stubForLogicalPort and in _getGlobalFeatureConfig(), without change.
I'm using a HTTP Destination, does this have something to do?
I'm getting insane with this and I'm in urgent need of help.
How can I change the time the WD waits for the WebService to answer ?
Thanks in advance.

Find solution. Check this thread:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/wdjava/faq%2b-%2bmodels%2b-%2badaptive%2bweb%2bservice
The com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.api.IWDWSInvocationModifier interface can be implemented by an application using the Adaptive Web Service model in order to modify the web service invocation object just before it's execution. Invocation modifiers need to be registered with the executable model class for which invocation is to be modified:
Request_NumberToWords requestMO = new Request_NumberToWords(model);
requestMO.wdSetInvocationModifier(
  new IWDWSInvocationModifier() {
    public void doModifyInvocation(Object port) {
      HTTPControlInterface httpItf = HTTPControlFactory.getInterface(port);
      //timeout for this WS invocation is 120 sec; don't use global config. setting of WS-Runtime
      httpItf.setSocketTimeout(120000);
    public void doModifyAfterInvocation() {}
Best regards.
