setConnectTimeout() Doesn't Work in Sun Java System App Server 8.2

[Freddy Wong]

Hi all,

I have a code that sends a request through HTTP using HttpURLConnection. Roughly, the code is as follows.

....    
HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
huc.setConnectTimeout(5000); // 5 seconds.
....

I tested it in a normal Java console program and it was working fine. I tested it again inside a servlet using Tomcat and it was also fine. But when I tested in a servlet using Sun Java System Application Server, it didn't work. I reckon there must be some configuration that I need to set in Sun Java Application Server, but I just don't know where. I've been googling it for few days with no answer Do you guys have any idea about this?

Thanks in advance.
