Urgent:Need to add Timeout for getting connection

Question

All,
While using DriverManager.getConnection to get the connection,I need to add Timeout in my code so if I don't get a connection with in 30 seconds,I need to say'Operation Timed out.
I was using DriverManager Api's setLoginTimeout method to set the desired time but it doesn't work.Can somebody tell me some other way to do it.

Answer 1

If I use this method then if second thread reports
Timed out after 30 seconds and then origional thread
gets connection after 30 seconds then it'll also
report.I dont want a connection if 30 second time
passes.I think if second thread reports 'timed out'
then I won't be able to explicitly kill the origional
thread as stop method is deprecated in Thread
class.Can you make it clear please?You can't stop the actual thread attempting the connection.
It will require some thought on your part to correctly wrap it.
It might not work at all because the getConnection() method, or something in it, might be synchronized.
