I am trying the build a SOAP client to access the National Weather Service NDFD SOAP Service. I'm using Axis2 1.6.2 with code generated with wsdl2java.

Every time I try to retrieve data, I receive a AxisFault saying Read timed out. I have tried to increase the timeout time to up to 500 s, but all that does is make it wait longer before giving the same error.

The error seems to be the same as the one here: Exception in thread "main" org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Read timed out. However, I don't quite understand any of the responses to that question.

One final note. In order to avoid a "411 Error: Length Required", I had to turn off the Chunked option. I'm not sure if this is relevant.

Does anyone know what might be the problem?

  • "Read timed out" means the remote service didn't return a response to your request, and your client eventually gave up waiting. I don't know if anyone could tell you specifically what is wrong with this service, beyond the fact that it's unreliable. – Kenster Aug 21 '12 at 13:05

I ran into this error on a project, and the root cause was a proxy server setting. I had to modify the proxy to allow the communication to the service I was trying to hit. My code was running as part of a custom application that used its own proxy. So this may also be something to try.
