If I'm reading something from an InputStream using BufferedReader is there a way to make it only wait for a response a set amount of time?

If not is there any other way to read from an InputStream where I could do this?

I have a kind of a simple client server type thing with socket and serversocket going on and I'm at a point where the server asks all of the client a question at the same time. After this it analyzes their responses and if any of the clients fails to respond to the message then the server hangs up and thus screws everything up for all of the other clients. The only way to solve this that I know of is to make a new thread for every message I send out, but there has to be a better way than that.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the ready() method in bufferedreader
