Remote EJB timing out with socket read timeout

Issue

• The client facing server invokes a remote EJB service (@stateless). This is a blocking call and so the client will wait until the task is complete. Some of these jobs run over 30 minutes. When 30 minutes reached, the client facing server gets a socket read timeout exception. Could you suggest a way for us to increase the socket read timeout of EJB invocation? We tried to increase the transaction timeout, but it does not really help.
