Jaybird undocumented tip : Is there any way to set socket timeouts?

Is there any way to set socket timeouts?
Roman Rokytskyy answered :

-Yes, the property is called so_timeout and is directly passed when the socket is opened (see Socket.setSoTimeout documentation). You can append the property to the JDBC URL after question mark:

jdbc:firebirdsql:myhost/3050:/path/to/db.fdb?so_timeout=12345

– I have added this feature on request for some very special case. In general you don’t need this property, since the server is not supposed to crash and the network is not supposed to break as well, at least not for database applications. So, the solution is to solve the crash, not to add a workaround for it.

ps: soon it will be added to documentation

Finishing touches to Jaybird 2.2 beta releasenotes, hopefully I will be able to finally release it this weekend

ps:
Jaybird 2.2 is the next Firebird jdbc driver release with many fixes which will include improved support of the JTA specification (XADataSource and XAResource interfaces). Additionally it already has improved support for OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice Base component, which deviates in some places from the JDBC 3.0 specification.
