My apologies if this is the wrong place for this topic. I'm having an issue where socketTimeoutExceptions are occurring due to the OS clock getting set forward in the mornings using a network time server.

What's happening is the following:
My server is up and running when I go home in the evening. Every morning, a Windows scheduled task runs that executes the following batch file:
'net time \\<time_server> /set /y'
It seems that if the clock has fallen behind on the server by some threshold, then after synching the time, I get socketTimeoutExceptions from OILServerILService, and the server stops accepting new connections. I found a little information on the web stating that there is a default read timeout of 70 seconds, and that the client pings the server every 60 seconds. My question is, is there an ideal way of working around this problem? I do performance testing using multiple servers, and they need to have synchronized clocks for the performance data to properly correlate. I could potentially just manually synch them then restart JBoss, but this is definitely not ideal. Any recommendations?

A snippet of the exception trace from JBoss' server.log:
