You can try this in SoapUI:
go to preference->HTTP Settings ->Socket Timeout(ms) -> Set some value here
Your Error Log:
ERROR:java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source) suggests
-> Flushing Issue in you application
-> You are reading from Server where server has already closed the initial socket connection
