Hi, I am trying to find a way to configure axis2 web server clients descriptively rather than programmatically using the Client API. In particular I am trying to configure the length of time elapsed before the a timeout will occur during a call to the web service (resulting in a SocketTimeOut exception). Can the following be done descriptively on the web server client in a wsdd or other configuration file? stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setTimeOutInMilliSeconds(soTimeout); All help gratefully appreciated. Kind regards Jon _________________________________________________________________ Make a mini you and download it into Windows Live Messenger http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/111354029/direct/01/
