With the SOCKET protocol the parameter

 -socket.responseTimeout

does the magic, see
http://www.xmlblaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/protocol.socket.html

With JacORB i think the parameter

  jacorb.client.pending_reply_timeout=0

should help, see

  xmlBlaster/config/jacorb.properties.template

With XmlRpc and RMI i don't know, please check the
homepages of the implementors.

If you want to implement the timeout behaviour on a
higher level you are welcome to code it directly
into xmlBlaster to have it as an integral feature
and others can benefit.

Note however that killing a blocking thread on a socket
is not possible in Java < 1.4.
If you use a delegate publish thread on client side
to solve your problem this thread is lost on blocking.
