java.rmi.ConnectException: Failed to communicate (java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out)

Hi

I have a client application which is accessing a Remote EJB deployed over JBoss AS 4.0.4 RC1 and JBoss AS 4.0.3 SP1. The client sends and recieves some large chunks of data to and from the server. But the following exception has started to come on client very frequently. Can we increase The Time out? Is the time out occurring during the reciept or sending of data or during the ping pong between server and client?

How can we solve this problem? What is the cause of this problem?

java.rmi.ConnectException: Failed to communicate; nested exception is:
