Why this error in java - plugin console

[anoop]

hello ,   can anybody tell me why i get this error in the java console...   it comes only sometimes and otherwise it just  runs fine if i restart the server..  i am using apache.   It is actually a servlet calling an applet to load. The applet is loaded in htdocs under the apache directory   and there is no web.xml in that directory for me to configure.   java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read      at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(Native Method)      at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:86)      at java.net.SocketInputStream.skip(SocketInputStream.java:123)      at java.io.BufferedInputStream.skip(BufferedInputStream.java:308)      at java.io.FilterInputStream.skip(FilterInputStream.java:132)      at java.io.PushbackInputStream.skip(PushbackInputStream.java:279)      at sun.net.www.MeteredStream.skip(MeteredStream.java:80)      at sun.net.www.http.KeepAliveStream.close(KeepAliveStream.java:64)      at com.bbn.openmap.io.StreamInputReader.close(StreamInputReader.java:193)      at com.bbn.openmap.io.BinaryFile.close(BinaryFile.java:400)      at com.bbn.openmap.io.BinaryBufferedFile.close(BinaryBufferedFile.java:238)      at com.bbn.openmap.io.BinaryFile.finalize(BinaryFile.java:628)      at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.invokeFinalizeMethod(Native Method)      at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.runFinalizer(Finalizer.java:86)      at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.access$100(Finalizer.java:17)      at java.lang.ref.Finalizer$FinalizerThread.run(Finalizer.java:163)         Thanks in adv,..   anoop
