Thank you for the response Asankha.
Before answering your questions, I will add a new development: yesterday we switched our soap communication method to use Axis 1.4 (Axis 1) instead of Axis2 1.4.1. Making this change did resolve the issue and PFP does not break Axis 1 communication. At this point we are satisfied with this solution and have decided to move forward with Axis 1. Yes, the PFP software appears to make use of SSL socket factories. One other thing I should mention is that the soap server we are using Axis to communicate with requires basic authentication to connect, so simple telnet commands do get connection refused. However, ngrep does show packets going to and from xyz.com when attempting the telnet connection, even when we are in the broken communication state. Thanks again for taking time to consider our problem. Grover Smith From: Asankha Perera [mailto:asankha.apa...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Asankha C.

This almost seems like a system resource contention issue. However, making Axis2 soap calls first does not break the PFP call. Any ideas as to what might be happening or how to work around this issue would be appreciated. What is the software making this 'PFP' call? is it doing something with the SSL socket factories to your knowledge?
