Hi Paul, This is new to me. What do you mean by launching 1/10 times? Do you stop and restart the application? Do you do this using Component#start() and stop() methods and differently? It is important to cleanly shutdown your server connector in order to quickly release the open sockets.
Did you looked at the list of open TCP/IP sockets under Windows? You can try 'netstat -n' for example. Best regards, Jerome -----Message d'origine----- De : Paul J. Lucas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoye : jeudi 3 juillet 2008 20:39 A : [email protected] Objet : Hanging on ServerSocket.accept() When launching my application, perhaps 1/10 times, the underlying web server gets stuck in ServerSocket.accept(). This happens only when run under Windows and only for one of our users. (The user had turned off all firewall and virus software.) The thing that concerns me is how wide-spread the problem is. (Our product is not yet released.) The problem has never been observed to happen under Mac OS X. We have been using the Simple web server. I tried replacing it with Jetty, but the same thing happens. Has anybody else experienced something like this or have any suggestions? - Paul
