title: How to set the socket timeout for a DB2 Universal JDBC Driver?
body: <p>How to set the socket timeout for a DB2 (9.7) Universal JDBC Driver DataSource on WebSphere Application Server 6.1? I've tried adding the <code>blockingReadConnectionTimeout</code> property as <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21590014" rel="nofollow">this IBM Technote</a> says, but the problem is still there. Is there another way to set this property? Should I set it within the Java application code?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
