java.io.InterruptedIOException: Read timed out - HELP!

[Srinadh Karumuri]

I was a happy axis-1_1 user on both client and server for about a year when 
we had to move to a slower server.

Now I get the timed out exception everyday in the morning and I am trying 
to figure out a way to increase the current timeout (probably at 60 
seconds) to something like 180 secs.

Here is the exception I see on the client side.

I checked in Google and forums and tried:
call.setProperty("axis.connect.timeout", new Integer(5000)); // set for 5 secs

But it's not timing out after 5 secs. Idea was to use 180 secs once the 
above code reproduces the problem.

Thanks for any help,
