I have to do it now with a thread implementing a sort of sigalarm, I don't see any other way to do it.
Why can you not use another thread?

I've searched high and low and can't seem to find a way to set a client side timeout on a request. My requirement is to return with an error when a response to a request is not returned within our SLA (say 2 seconds). Note that I cannot manage threads nor can I control this at the service level (I don't own the server code). I know this question has been asked before but I don't see answers/recommendations, other than a suggestion to use commons HttpClient. Is this the recommended approach? any sample code, hint? anyone? :) thanks. -- Jennifer
