Hi Marco,
I would suggest using the Socket class's
"setSoTimeout(int milliseconds)"
i.e. only if you *absolutely* need to use the socket class.
I noticed that you were using WLS 5.1, and if you
are doing this from within your EJB's, this is restricted
by the EJB spec 1.1 (If WLS indeed allows it, as you
mention, you might need to take into account that
other EJB vendors might be more 'strict' and hence
your code might not be portable across containers)
