I can see that the web service is deployed and starts up OK. However, when I call one of its methods, getAvnData() in a client program, I am seeing a read timed out error (after 60 secs) as below. The getAvnData() method of the Mm5Avn web service simply calls a shell script which triggers an ftp. The file it is getting is quite large, 26MB , so the socket read failure is caused by the ftp not being completed. Is there an easy way around this read timeout problem, such as a way to up the timeout time (of 60s) so the ftp can finish before another read occurs on that socket? Alternatively, in looking at FAQ's I found the setTimeout() method but I haven't succeeded in getting past the 60 sec (this appears to be the default) timeout. Since I used "call" for the setTimeout(), I probably need to use "call" to invoke the service also but I don't know how to use it to get a handle to the service method, "getAvnData()". Maybe someone can enlighten me. Below I list the source code and then the error output. Thanks .
