Not easy (or even not possible without writing some JNI code) in JDK 1.3.x

But, in the Java client can you use JDK 1.4 ? Then you can use Socket.connect() 
method that has a timeout parameter.

>From the docs for JDK 1.4;

public void connect(SocketAddress endpoint,
                    int timeout)
             throws IOExceptionConnects this socket to the server with a 
specified timeout value. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite 
timeout. The connection will then block until established or an error occurs.
