Hi list, I am sorry if this is an off topic. I am just not sure where my problem really is located. I have a web application which I start through web start. I do set the session timeout to 30 min for security reasons. So when the session is expired and the client tries to access again the server I sent back a session expired object. On the client I can see that the object was read from the input stream and that the stream is closed. I even can access some stuff in that object. But on the server I get the following exception Jul 17, 2003 5:25:12 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler processConnection INFO: SocketException reading request, ignored I also have the problem that my web application just hangs after this but it does not by the same action and the server has still a valid session. So, can my hanging application be connected to this Socket Exception message? Thanks for any info.
