I did not receive a response in soap-user to this message so maybe this is correct place to post it.
My application needs to be able to detect and handled network failures. For
this I needed timeouts. There was already support for timeouts in
SOAPHTTPConnection, but I could not find an inteface to this, so I added my
own. I added this send method to my local copy of Message.java from SOAP
2.2. It has been working fine for me for a few weeks now. I want to know if
now if there is another way to do this. If not, should this method or
something similar be added to apache SOAP?
