A question on SocketException in SOAP

[David Zonsheine]

Hello All,   I am using SOAP 2.2 with TOMCAT 4.1.   I encountered the following problem:   My SOAP server and my GUI JSPs are installed on the same TOMCAT server (same JVM).   Now, everything goes on just fine. I am using the GUI which makes a lot of SOAP calls to the SOAP server.   Everything is fine until I leave the system for a few days (the weekend).   When I came back I saw that I can’t connect to my GUI anymore.   What I get is the following error:   Action GetList has failed. Details: Error opening socket: Connection timed out: connect at….   A few more interesting points:   When I try to call the SOAP server using a command line client I have everything is fine. I get good results. I make the SOAP calls using a SOAP client class I wrote. In the JSPs I have the client class as a bean:             <jsp:useBean id="om" class="com.mercado.s2002.management.ssoap.MngSoapClient" scope="application"/>.             Maybe this has something to do with the failure. When I tried to write a JSP with a single line that open a socket to the SOAP server URL I got the same error.   I thought that this has something to do with the fact the system was idle for hours but when I scheduled the system to run every 30 minutes for a few days I got the same exception after about 20 hours.   Do you have any idea?   This is a critical issue for me, every idea can help.   Thank you very much,   David
