[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-935?page=comments#action_12444911 ] Oleg Kalnichevski commented on AXIS2-935: -----------------------------------------
Folks, I may not know the full extent and all the details of this particular problem, so take my comment for what it is worth. The described problem is not that infrequent in the HttpClient world. Per default HttpClient always attempts to keep HTTP connections alive for further re-use and may keep them in the connection pool indefinitely. So, some precautions must be taken in order to ensure proper release of network sockets. (1) _Always_ shut down the multithreaded connection manager when it is no longer needed. It may take a quite while on some JVMs before it gets garbage collected along with all the connections and respective network sockets. If multithreaded connection managers are created frequently and are not cleanly shut down, one can easily end up with hundreds of connections in the "CLOSE_WAIT" state. (2) Calling #closeIdleConnections() once is a while is a good idea, especially when anticipating (or coming back from) a long period of network inactivity.
