I'm running Catalina (TC4) as a servlet engine with IIS and I'm having problems with object streaming. On the client side I have multiple threads sending POST messages to the server, and on the server side I have a servlet with a doPost catching the messages - all very standard. However, I often get IOExceptions thrown on the client at out.close() and the message '[Ajp13] bad read: -103' appears in the Catalina command window. I can't find any information on the ajp bad read in the Tomcat documentation nor on the web. The servlet doesn't implement SingleThreadModel so, theoretically, a new servlet instance should be loaded for each doPost.
What is causing the bad read and why should out.close() throw an IOException? Many thanks for your help, Cathy Client: private InputStream sendPostMessage(URL i_url) throws IOException { URLConnection con = i_url.openConnection(); // Prepare for both input and output con.setDoInput(true); con.setDoOutput(true); // Turn off caching con.setUseCaches(false); // Set the content type to be java-internal/classname con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "java-internal/" + getClass().getName()); // Write the serialized object as post data ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(con.getOutputStream()); out.writeObject(this); out.flush(); out.close(); return con.getInputStream(); } Server: public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(request.getInputStream()); ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(response.getOutputStream()); MyObject obj = (APICall)in.readObject(); // do stuff with obj } -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
