Request timeout functionality

[Tomas-Kraus]

Hello, JAX-RPC states itself as "Production Quality" service, but has no possibility to specify http request timeouts in web service client side. We have chosen this implementation as it has good performance, and is supported by sun application server 8.2, but this lack of such important feature is really show stopper. If some external web service hangs or stops - our whole system also hangs because no request timeout can occur and all threads hang trying to call hanging web service.

I have looked at sources and found that this functionality is implemented in JAX-WS class com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.client.HttpClientTransport, but is missing in JAX-RPC implementations class com.sun.xml.rpc.client.http.HttpClientTransport.

Can we expect that this feature will be implemented some day? If no, can we download JAX-RPC source code, add this functionality by ourselves and use it internally for commercial use (we have sun jes support license)?

P.S. I have found several forum posts without an answer on the same topic:
