EJB and Client Side Timeout

Hi
I have a java servlet which accesses a stateless  EJB on JBoss on a remote server, using code
like
Object objref = initial.lookup("TestBean");
CalculatorRemoteHome home = (TestRemoteHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref,TestRemoteHome.class);
TestRemote echo = home.create();
 int retval=echo.do_long_request();

I want to set a timeout on the method "do_long_request"
ie
1)  Request data from ejb
2)  if ejb requires more the say 30 seconds to process request and send  back result data to client then
   timeout on the client side and show a kind of "request took too long" error page.  

Is is possible to set such a timeout , either by a config file setting or programatically?
Thanks in advance
