The basic idea is to add two new fields to DomainSocket.c to hold the read/write timeouts. On platforms that support SO_SNDTIMEO and SO_RCVTIMEO these would be unused as setsockopt() would be used to set the socket timeouts. On platforms such as Solaris the JNI code would use the values to implement the timeouts appropriately.
Unfortunately it's not a simple as I'd hoped. For some reason I don't really understand, nearly all the JNI methods are declared as static and therefore don't get a "this" pointer and as a consequence all the class data members that are needed by the JNI code have to be passed in as parameters. That also means it's not possible to store the timeouts in the DomainSocket fields from within the JNI code. Most of the JNI methods should be instance methods rather than static ones, but making that change would require some significant surgery to DomainSocket.
