Handling timeout of UDP datagram socket in Java

I need to enable and disable the timeout of a UDP datagram socket in Java.

It is possible to set its timeout using sendTokenSock.setSoTimeout(10000);.

But if I need to disable its timeout and keep it receiving infinitely in another state in the program, how can I do it?

I take it that sendTokenSock is a java.net.DatagramSocket: sendTokenSock.setSoTimeout(0); will set an infinite timeout as setSoTimeout documentation for Java SE 7 explains:

The timeout must be > 0. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
