TCP connector (server) will stop accepting connection if an invalid connection
is made to him.

Key: AMQ-875
URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-875
Project: ActiveMQ
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Transport
Affects Versions: 4.0
Reporter: Hiram Chirino
Assigned To: Hiram Chirino
Charles reported on the mailing list:
Hi All,
We've just had a nasty situation : our ActiveMQ Server standalone plain
vanilla TCP Transport, no persistency, no nuffink) on one of our live
installations suddenly refused to accept any new connections - no clients
could connect. All currently connected clients were fine, and messages were
being processed sent and received fine. Just no-one else could connect.
After 20 minutes, new connections were suddenly allowed.
The following exception was in our log.
2006-Aug-11 12:17:47.726 aqualive [ActiveMQ Transport Server:

My interpretation of the above that something (port scanner maybe ? Our
curious IT department ?) is connecting to the listening socket, and the
TransportServer is trying to tell the connecting process what the wireformat
is - and the connection process is just sitting there, not responding,
acknlowedging, or doing anything at all - yet not closing the connection.
Therefore, the transport server is blocked, preventing anyone else
connecting. After 20 mins - which I am guessing is somekind of lowlevel
timeout, seeing as all the default AMQ timeouts seen to be of the order of 1
- 30 secs - a low level TCP exception is thrown, freeing the whole shebang
up.
I notice there is an InactivityMonitor, and looking at the code there is the
following comment
// Disable inactivity monitoring while processing a command.
Could this be the case ? That - until the wireformat has been negotiated -
there is no timeout configured ? Is there anything we can do to reduce this
timeout from 20 mins ? Or have I completed gone down the wrong track ?
This is AMQ 4.0, Win2K, JRE 1.4.2
Cheers,
Charles
