I've used JAXWS-RI 2.1 to create an interface for my web service, based on a WSDL. I can interact with the web service no problems, but haven't been able to specify a timeout for sending requests to the web service. If for some reason it does not respond the client just seems to spin it's wheels forever.

Hunting around has revealed that I should probably be trying to do something like this:

((BindingProvider)myInterface).getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout", 10000);
((BindingProvider)myInterface).getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.ws.connect.timeout", 10000);

I also discovered that, depending on which version of JAXWS-RI you have, you may need to set these properties instead:

((BindingProvider)myInterface).getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.request.timeout", 10000);
((BindingProvider)myInterface).getRequestContext().put("com.sun.xml.internal.ws.connect.timeout", 10000);

The problem I have is that, regardless of which of the above is correct, I don't know where I can do this. All I've got is a Service subclass that implements the auto-generated interface to the webservice and at the point that this is getting instanciated, if the WSDL is non-responsive then it's already too late to set the properties:

MyWebServiceSoap soap;
MyWebService service = new MyWebService("http://www.google.com");
soap = service.getMyWebServiceSoap();
soap.sendRequestToMyWebService();

Can anyone point me in the right direction?!
