JAX-WS Dispatch API hangs forever on HttpTimeoutException

[Juan Ignacio B <ju...@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone.

We are using JAX-WS Dispatch API to call a SOAP service.
We faced a critical issue when a target SOAP service went down, because the
JAX-WS client was hanging (about 6 hours) and when the service was restored
the client sent an invalid call (the transaction should have been cancelled
after a timeout period).
Seems the JAX-WS Dispatch API loops forever until the WSDL is available. Is
this a bug? Or there is a feature/configuration to fail the call invocation
when a predefined timeout is reached?
I created a sample project to demonstrate this behavior:

Thanks in advance!
