Like kolossus said you should use:

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties     

And String values are:

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.connect.timeout
com.sun.xml.internal.ws.request.timeout

Although internal packages shouldn't be used, this is the only way if you work with default JDK6. So, in this case setting receive and connect timeout should be done with:

bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(BindingProviderProperties.REQUEST_TIMEOUT,requestTimeoutMs);

bindingProvider.getRequestContext().put(BindingProviderProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT,connectTimeoutMs);

But beware, constant values are different if you are using other JAXWS reference implementation, i.e. JAXWS-RT 2.1.4 BindingProviderProperties:

com.sun.xml.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties

you will have different String values for REQUEST_TIMEOUT and CONNECT_TIMEOUT:

com.sun.xml.ws.request.timeout
com.sun.xml.ws.connect.timeout
