Hey all: I wrote in with this problem quite a while back, and a few people tried to help. The basic problem is that a stub, when making many requests quickly, will eventually fail with a BindException:
There are a few references to this issue in JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2593 (Fixed) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2441 (Fixed) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2883 (Open) This is a fairly common case in our usage of webservices, and particularly hits hard on Windows, which seems to default to only allowing ~4000 open sockets at once. This is very easy to reproduce, all you need is a webservice that returns quickly (a hello world service works well) and a loop in the client that calls the service over and over. I have tried the following code with Axis 1.1.1 (our current production version) as well as Axis 1.3. This code accesses a service on another computer, so no sharing of resources should come into play. Perhaps I am using Axis incorrectly, and would be glad to be corrected if that is the case. I added a call to Stub.cleanup() inside the loop, but it did not seem to help. Thanks for all your help in advance! -Jake My sample code: Service1Stub s = new Service1Stub(); for (int i = 0; i < 5000; i++) { Service1Stub.HelloWorldResponse r = null; Service1Stub.HelloWorld h = new Service1Stub.HelloWorld(); r = s.HelloWorld(h); } My exception: Exception in thread "main" org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Address already in use: connect at org.apache.axis2.AxisFault.makeFault(AxisFault.java:417) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPSender.sendViaPost(HTTPSender.java:195) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPSender.send(HTTPSender.java:77) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender.writeMessageWithCommons(CommonsHTTPTransportSender.java:327) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender.invoke(CommonsHTTPTransportSender.java:206) at org.apache.axis2.engine.AxisEngine.send(AxisEngine.java:396) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.send(OutInAxisOperation.java:374) at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.executeImpl(OutInAxisOperation.java:211) at org.apache.axis2.client.OperationClient.execute(OperationClient.java:163) at test.Service1Stub.HelloWorld(Service1Stub.java:145) at Loop.main(Loop.java:12) Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.connect(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor5.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.ReflectionSocketFactory.createSocket(ReflectionSocketFactory.java:139) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(DefaultProtocolSocketFactory.java:124) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:706) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$HttpConnectionAdapter.open(MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.java:1321) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMethodDirector.java:386) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:170) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:396) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:346) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AbstractHTTPSender.executeMethod(AbstractHTTPSender.java:520) at org.apache.axis2.transport.http.HTTPSender.sendViaPost(HTTPSender.java:191) ... 9 more --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
