Few months ago, I had issues with NIO and SSL together. Don't know if latest
JDK release have resolved this.

well, you can use InputStream.available() and then sleep when there is 
no data; implementing the waiting yourself. This should work across the 
board, except for things that lie about availability.

To modify the client stub, I would add an extra property you can set 
with _set_Property(), and handle it from there. Axis does already have a 
timeout property, BTW; you'd have to look at the source to see how it is 
used.

This had crossed my mind, bit I have too concerns:
1) Timeouts are not supported on all platforms.
2) I don't know how my client stub can be modified to set this timeout, 
even if it was supported on my target platform (which is isn't).

do a read with a timeout; poll some volatile exit_now flag every second 
or so?

I'll check that out.

I want this to support a client-side I/O interrupt. If there are other ways
to do this without NIO, I'd like to know. [Having one thread call
socket.close() on a socket held by another thread is JVM specific, and so
I'd like to avoid that.]

It is lower on the priority list. Maybe you could get Jakarta's 
httpclient code to support NIO; axis would get it transparently.

The area where NIO would matter is in binary file support: attachments. 
Maybe something could be done there with an NIO reader of files, but 
because Axis is designed to work on Java1.3, we have to be able to 
support an NIO-free system

I was referring to the client portion of Axis.

That's possible for the stand-alone server but not for the servlet
case right?

Sanjiva.
