JBoss EAP 6 Socket Timeout Settings

I currently have a RESTful application deployed in JBoss EAP 6 that is making a service call to a SOAP service, however the SOAP response is taking longer than 60 seconds to calculate and return a response to the REST application.

JBoss is closing the socket at 60s and throwing a SocketTimeoutException. I've tried following the instructions on https://access.redhat.com/solutions/456733 by setting the DEFAULT_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT to longer than 60000 but JBoss is still closing the connection at 60s.

Is there a way, without any code changes to the REST application, to increase JBoss default 60s socket timer?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
