LDAP connection timeout

[Ahmad Noori]

Hello,

I am using Netscape Java tool kit 4.1 to establish a connection with a 
netscape directory.  Sometime when the directory is not available, the 
tool kit tries to establish a connection any way and it takes about at 
least 3 to 5 minutes before an LDAPException is thrown, basically it 
hangs.  I would like to setup a time-out session, that if it can't 
connect within 15 sec, then give up.  

I have tried using setConnectTimeout but it didn't help, I also tried 
set Option but failed again.  
Here is my connection code:

    try {
    ld = new LDAPConnection();
        //System.out.print( + "\n");
    /* Connect to server */
       // ld.setOption(LDAPv2.TIMELIMIT, new Integer (50000));
    ld.connect(ipaddress, dirport);

    } catch (LDAPException le) {}
Any ideas...


Thanks
