JAX-WS HTTP Timeouts

JAX-WS uses Java SE's HttpURLConnection to send requests to web services. URLConnection offers setConnectTimeout() and setReadTimeout() methods so that clients can control connection timeouts. The same things can be achieved by doing the following in JAX-WS clients:

// setConnectTimeout()
int timeout = ...;
Map<String, Object> ctxt = ((BindingProvider)proxy).getRequestContext();
ctxt.put(JAXWSProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT, timeout);

// setReadTimeout()
int timeout = ...;
Map<String, Object> ctxt = ((BindingProvider)proxy).getRequestContext();
ctxt.put("com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout", timeout);
