Hi Gary
Try the following to set the timeout: MyServiceLocator serviceLocator = new MyServiceLocator(); MyPort port = serviceLocator.getPort(url); org.apache.axis.client.Stub stub = (org.apache.axis.client.Stub ) port; stub.setTimeout(<milli seconds>); Try setting the value to something very small and watch the call timeout straight away!
