I think you are taking the wrong approach to this.

You need to subclass Socket and set the options in the constructor:

class MySocket extends Socket {
  public MySocket(Sting host, int port) {
    super(host, port);
    setSoTimeout(....


Then in your program

Socket someSocket = new MySocket(...
