TCP connections in CLOSE_WAIT state after axis calls resulting in an exception
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2-3725
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3725
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: codegen
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1, 1.3
         Environment: BEA-Weblogic 8.1 SP6
            Reporter: Dennis Merkel


Similar problems reported in AXIS-2430, AXIS-2883 and SOAP-170.

PROBLEM-DESCRIPTION
Every axis call resulting in an exception (whether the server is down or server 
responding with wsdl:fault) leaves behind a new tcp connection in the 
CLOSE_WAIT state. 
Once the maximum number for SOCKET_WAITs is reached (depending on operating 
system - the maximum number of open file descriptors) no more calls could be 
handled until restart of BEA-Weblogic-Server.

WORKAROUND
The problem was fixed by adapting each java (wsdl:operation)-method of the 
generated client stub as followed: the try-catch-block was extended with the 
finally block

finally{
            if(_messageContext != null){
                
_messageContext.getTransportOut().getSender().cleanup(_messageContext);
            }
        }

The cleanup method in original stub is called only in try-block, so if an 
exception rises during a web service call, code execution is continued in catch 
block without calling the cleanup method leading by that to a new not cleaned 
up connection in the CLOSE_WAIT state.

P.S.:
- It is required to move the declaration of _messageContext variable before the 
try block to make it visible in finally block
- Problem was initialy found on axis2 1.1.1, upgrade to 1.3 did not eliminate 
the problem
