Try upgrading. Here's the release notes: "October 23, 2009 - Apache Axis2/Java Version 1.5.1 Released! The 1.5.1 version fixes some bugs , including most notably a connection starvation issue that would cause a large number of sockets stuck in CLOSE_WAIT or TIME_WAIT." You can verify your problem is CLOSE_WAIT related via "netstat -anc | grep CLOSE_WAIT" - it probably is. - R
