We have the following problem here: When accessing an owserver (connected via a ds2480 rs232 device), we have at first very good performance. We read/write values mainly through a java client program (which we now changed to more closely follow the way owshell behaves).
Then, after some time, the java program reports errors, while with owdir/owread,owwrite everything still works. Then, after more time, owshell programs fail also, and it looks like they are unable to open the port. At times even the owserver process diappears. I now suspect the java clieant to be the problem, and, more specifically, the way java deals with ports. We now included a wait (1000ms) before the socket is closed and it seems to be better. Anybody had a similar experience and maybe a solution? Last time I had owserver crashing a lot I downgraded from 2.5 (or2.6?0 to 2.4. and that solved my problem. This time I would like to try to understand what is happening. During daytime we can experiment a bit on the system (nighttime it is supposed to do Astrophysical observations), and the problem is that the calibration lamps are turned on/off by owfs. We used to have about 10-20% failures on those switches, now it approaches 100%.
