How to set the timeout period on a JPA EntityManager query

I'm currently getting connection timeout errors from my EntityManager queries. Is it possible to set a timeout for these?

persistence.xml

Code times out in the run function of my thread:

private class TaskDB extends Thread {

    private final long WAITING_TIME = 20000L;

    @Override
    public void run() {

        Set<SmsTask> remove = SMSManager.this.getRemoveTask();
        Set<SmsTask> normal = SMSManager.this.getNormalTask();

        try {
            while(true){
                EntityManager em = DB.getEM();  //Calls EntityManagerFactory.createEntityManager()
                em.getTransaction().begin();

                Set<SmsTask> normalClone = new HashSet<SmsTask>(normal);
                // Abort task in futur.
                List<SmsTask> taskToRemove = new ArrayList<SmsTask>();
                if (!remove.isEmpty()) {

                    String queryString = "SELECT t FROM SmsTask t WHERE t.id IN :remove ";
                    if (!normalClone.isEmpty())
                        queryString += "AND t.id NOT IN :normal ";

                    Query query = em.createQuery(queryString);
                    query.setParameter("remove", Utils.taskToIdList(remove));
                    if (!normalClone.isEmpty())
                        query.setParameter("normal", Utils.taskToIdList(normalClone));

                    taskToRemove = (List<SmsTask>) query.getResultList();
                    for (SmsTask task : taskToRemove) {
                        removedTask.add(task);
                        remove.remove(task);
                    }
                }

                String queryString = "SELECT t FROM SmsTask t WHERE (t.scheduleTime IS NULL OR t.scheduleTime < :dateNow) AND t.status = co.dium.call.structure.Task.StatusTask.NOT_START ";
                if (!taskToRemove.isEmpty())
                    queryString += "AND t.id NOT IN :toRemove ";

                Query query = em.createQuery(queryString);
                query.setParameter("dateNow", Utils.obtainUniversalTime());
                if (!taskToRemove.isEmpty())
                    query.setParameter("toRemove", Utils.taskToIdList(taskToRemove));
                List<SmsTask> taskResults = (List<SmsTask>) query.getResultList();

                em.getTransaction().commit();

                for (SmsTask task : taskResults) 
                    addTask(task);

                SMSManager.TaskRemove.sleep(WAITING_TIME);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(SMSManager.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        System.out.println("Thread interrompu !");
        Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
    }
}

The timeout errors that I get:

org.clipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: I/O error: Socket read timed out
Error Code: 17002
Call: [....sql query...]
[...]
at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.EJBQueryImpl.getResultList(EJBQueryImpl.java:742)
at call.manager.sms.SMSManager$TaskDB.run(SMSManager.java:367)
Caused by: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: I/O Error: Scoket read timed out
[...]

Yes, there javax.persistence.query.timeout. According JPA 2.0 specification support for this query hint is optional:

Portable applications should not rely on this hint. Depending on the persistence provider and database in use, the hint may or may not be observed.

Default value (in milliseconds) can be set to persistence.xml for all queries:

<property name="javax.persistence.query.timeout" value="1000"/>

Same property can be also given when creating EntityManagerFactory via Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory.

It can also be overridden/set per query:

query.setHint("javax.persistence.query.timeout", 2000);

Same functionality can be obtained via attribute hints in NamedQuery.
