timeout on WS client call using JMS transport cannot be identified
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TRANSPORTS-49
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRANSPORTS-49
             Project: Axis2 Transports
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JMS
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
         Environment: Axis2 1.6.1 and jms transport 1.0.0
            Reporter: Mario Coeckelberghs
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.0.0


When a out/in synchronous webservice call is executed on client side and there 
is no response within the specified time there is no specific AxisFault thrown. 
A generic AxisFault thrown.
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The input stream for an incoming message is null.
However, it is crutial to be able to determine if the exception (AxisFault) is 
a timeout or a communication problem, in context of exception handling. When 
using the Http transport you can get the root exception and it it is of type 
SocketTimeoutException, you know you're dealing with a response timeout and not 
a technical problem.
Axis2 JMS Transport should provide a way to identify if the AxisFault is due to 
a timeout or not.
Extending the JMSSenderclass to solve this is not a nice solution because a lot 
of private methods need to be redefined. To be best location and only location 
you know you're dealing with a timeout is in the JMSSender class, method 
waitForResponseAndProcess(Session session, Destination replyDestination, 
MessageContext msgCtx, String correlationId, String contentTypeProperty).
if (reply != null) {
...
} else {
    log.warn("Did not receive a JMS response within " +
                    timeout + " ms to destination : " + replyDestination +
                    " with JMS correlation ID : " + correlationId);
                metrics.incrementTimeoutsReceiving()
}

Add the throw AxisFaultException in the else clause. Now if there was a 
timeout, an AsxisFault is thrown anyway but not with the needed information to 
determin if it was a timeout or something else.
Either throw a specific subclass of AxisFault (AxisTimeoutFault) or throw and 
AxisFault with a faultcode which represents the timeout.
