Increase callout timeout

Hi,

I have a problem with a web service callout that continuously gets a timeout. The web service is called through a WSDL generated class. I read in the forums about the timeout_x variable and that we could assign up to 60 sec to this variable. The problem is the behaviour is the same whatever value I assign this variable to (from 1 ms to the max 60000 ms). The timeout still occurs after about 10 seconds.

Did you already experience that?  And how can I change the value of this variable? Thanks.

Timeout_x is the variable you are looking for in the wsdl2apex generated code. However as you figured out. You should be able to increase it up to 120 seconds.

SampleClass.BasicHttpBinding_IService1 s = new SampleClass.BasicHttpBinding_IService1();
                s.timeout_x = 120000;

Is the way we usually do it. you can also harcode the value in the generated apex class.

I think I wasn't clear enough maybe. I know about timeout_x already and the related governor limits. I used timeout_x the way you suggest and tried several values (40000, 60000, 120000 and even just 1). No matter what value I assign to timeout_x I always get the same result: System.CalloutException IO Exception: Read timed out after about 10 sec. It seems that the value given to this variable is not taken into account at all by the WebServiceCallout.invoke function.
