title: problem with axis client stub timeout
body: <p>I am writing an application which uses web services to connect a remote server.I have written a method to ping function to determine if the server is online or not(i.e. its providing the web services which can be accessed using host:port).I am executing a simple web service with a 2 sec timeout(available as an option in stub class before I make the call).Ideally the call should return within 2 seconds allowing me to ascertain whether the server is up or down.However in certain cases it takes far longer than 2 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening?Is there a way to ensure that the timeout value is honored ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Fell</p>
