Hi Dan, thanks for the quick response.

That would definitely be the > easiest to do if it works for you. We already tried do increase the ReceiveTimeout on client side, but then the remote server itself returned a timeout. New requests are handled properly while old ones are still waiting. So the retry option is only a workaround for a bad remote implementation. Moreover increasing the timeout doesn't help for other network issues, e.g. java.net.SocketException: Connection reset. I opened a jira issue for it (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2036). If you give me some hints, I will try to provide a patch for it. Regards Dennis
