Hello, I'm running a high throughput nio http client (essentially a small webcrawler) through the apache HttpCore NIO extensions -- my code is based largely off the sample client at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpcore/trunk/module-nio/src/examples/org/apache/http/examples/nio/NHttpClient.java.
I'm repeatedly getting the following error: "I/O dispatch worker terminated abnormally"; it's an IOException thrown from the 'ioReactor.execute' part of the sample code mentioned above. I get it when requesting high volumes of URLs -- it sometimes occours very quickly, or other times won't happen for up to 10 minutes or so. Here's the printStackTrack output for the 'getCause()' method on the IOexception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.http.nio.protocol.AsyncNHttpClientHandler.closed(AsyncNHttpClientHandler.java:115) at org.apache.http.nio.protocol.BufferingHttpClientHandler.closed(BufferingHttpClientHandler.java:98) at org.apache.http.impl.nio.DefaultClientIOEventDispatch.disconnected(DefaultClientIOEventDispatch.java:93) at org.apache.http.impl.nio.reactor.BaseIOReactor.sessionClosed(BaseIOReactor.java:222) at org.apache.http.impl.nio.reactor.AbstractIOReactor.processClosedSessions(AbstractIOReactor.java:277) at org.apache.http.impl.nio.reactor.AbstractIOReactor.execute(AbstractIOReactor.java:150) at org.apache.http.impl.nio.reactor.BaseIOReactor.execute(BaseIOReactor.java:70) at org.apache.http.impl.nio.reactor.AbstractMultiworkerIOReactor$Worker.run(AbstractMultiworkerIOReactor.java:362) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Even though the error seems to stem from the httpcore library, I've commented out all of my code to see if it fixes the problem -- it doesn't. I tried upgrading from the 4.0-beta2 to the 4.0-beta3 release -- this also does not solve the problem. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? Thanks much, Chas Williams cha...@gmail.com
