Michele, I have been trying to get your recommended code to work, but my web service also throws an Axis Fault right at the 4000th web service request:
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Address already in use: connect I ran netstat and noticed that I have over 1400 connections in a TIME_WAIT state. If I add a breakpoint in the debugger right before sending the message, the problem does not appear to manifest itself for every message sent. Are these piling up resulting in the AxisFault? Here is the code I am using to create, initialize, and run the stub: HttpConnectionManagerParams connectionManagerParams = new HttpConnectionManagerParams(); connectionManagerParams.setTcpNoDelay(true); connectionManagerParams.setStaleCheckingEnabled(true); MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager(); connectionManager.setParams(connectionManagerParams); HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient(connectionManager); ConfigurationContext configurationContext = ConfigurationContextFactory.createConfigurationContextFromFileSystem(null, null); configurationContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.REUSE_HTTP_CLIENT, Boolean.TRUE); configurationContext.setProperty(HTTPConstants.CACHED_HTTP_CLIENT, httpClient); stub = new MyServiceStub(configurationContext, target); boolean success = true; while(success) { success = stub.performService(records); stub.cleanup(); // System.gc(); } Note the commented out "System.gc()". If I uncomment this line of code, the code runs much slower (alas, unacceptably slow), but does not appear to ever generate the "Address already in use: connect" AxisFault. Indeed, I am past 24,000 requests now and have not encountered a single AxisFault. Also, there are less than 400 TIME_WAIT connections. However, I am only getting about 10 requests per second throughput--much too slow. I have been able to get as many as 500 requests per second in the past. By the way, what performance level (requests per second) do you typically see for a web service running on a single node? -David -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/BindException-in-axis-client-tf3632035.html#a10185772 Sent from the Axis - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
