Hello!
I tracked down a problem where JOnAS on classpath/cacao dropped
a database connection for no good reason. The cause was that the
ServerSocket used for "accept" has a one-second timeout set, and
the accepted Sockets inherit it.
This inheritance of options is documented for the accept(2)
system call, but I don't think it is intended behaviour on
the java.net.Socket level. I did not find any reference to
that in the ServerSocket documentation.
The database in question was HSQLDB 1.8.0. An additional
socket.setSoTimeout(0)
on the accepted socket solved the problem, but I dont think that
is required of Java apps, or is it?
Cheers
-Edwin
