Hi,


Just I am writing a program which will establish a tcp client program.
After establishing the connection we are able to send and receive the messages from the both ends.
But when there is some network problem we are unable to get the response. At that time the hole application is going stop with any response. Can any one please suggestion how to set wait time or kill the thread in this situation.

this is following code.

client = new Socket("serverAddress", portNumber);
OutputStream outToServer = client.getOutputStream();
DataOutputStream writeCommands =  new DataOutputStream(outToServer);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
String str2 = br.readLine();
