Haroon commented on AXIS2-935: ------------------------------ We are facing the same issue with Axis2-1.2 version when we use Axis2 as our Webservices client to make WS calls. Exception stack trace is : org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Too many open files Caused by: org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Too many open files Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Too many open files I saw this post on AXIS2-2931 on the patch for this fix. And it is mentioned that this patch can be seamlessly applied in axis2-1.3 and 1.4 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2931?focusedCommentId=12676837&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_12676837> However, since we are on Axis2-1.2 version, could you please let us know the approach for fixing this issue, with minimum changes to the list of axis2 jars? I'm doubtful, if I take the fix from <http://www.intalio.org/public/maven2/org/apache/axis2/axis2-kernel/1.3i3/> and replace axis2-kernel-1.2.jar with axis2-kernel-1.3i3.jar, what other dependent jars I might need to upgrade? Any sort of help/guidelines on applying the proper fix to axis2-1.2 version is appreciated. > Connections are not properly released causing them to stick in the > "CLOSE_WAIT" state and cause "Too many files open" > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AXIS2-935 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-935 > Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2) > Issue Type: Bug > Components: kernel > Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Weblogic 8.1.2, Solaris 8 (dont ask!) > Reporter: Jeff Peterson > Assignee: Deepal Jayasinghe > Priority: Critical > Attachments: AXIS2-935.patch > > > It appears that org.apache.axis2.transport.http.SOAPOverHTTPSender does not > properly cleanup the http post connection after payload has been sent. > The symptoms of this problem show up in `netstat` as literally hundreds of > connections in the "CLOSE_WAIT" state.
