Hi,
Using Tomcat 6.0.35 I got the server up and running and could retrieve
webpages from my application perfectly - using the browser. Now I've
written some client code of my own in Java and for one or other reason it
doesn't want to retrieve everything - it only returns a partial response
and then hangs. Multiple attempts at returning the webpage returns the
same partial response - in other words its still a partial response but its
the exact same length as the partial responses returned by the other
attempts.
I had the same issue in Jetty so I'm not sure what it could be, but maybe
there is some setting on my machine (Windows Vista) that's preventing any
non-browser connection with the webservers to work 100%?
The client code was first in Jersey (jersey.java.net), then written in
plain Java, and then using Apache HttpComponents (hc.apache.org). All
versions of client code hanged. The Java code (though its 100%) is as
follows:
String jsonResponse = "";
{
//
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/readingWriting.html
URLConnection urlConnection = new URL(uri).openConnection();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(urlConnection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine = null;
while ((inputLine = br.readLine()) != null)
jsonResponse += inputLine;
br.close();
}
One clue - when I changed the connector's socketBuffer (
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html) the length of the
partial response varied. But it still didn't return the full response.
And the default setting worked for the browser...so no idea what could be
wrong...
Probably not a Tomcat issue - but any suggestions on what could be causing
this would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Serdyn du Toit
