My case is as follows: 1) I have a web-application deployed on tomcat. In this web-application, I am consuming 2 web-services. These 2 web-services are invoked sequentially without any delay. 2) Important thing to note is that the endpoint URL of both these web-services have same host-name(IP) and same port number. Rest of the URL is different. (Both the URLs are plain HTTP. There is NO HTTPS) 3) First web-service is invoked. Camel-CXF processes and returns the response and starts a new thread for clean-up tasks. Lets call this new thread as 'Clean-up Thread'. In this clean-up thread, the socket (which was created while invoking this first web-service) is closed. However, since this clean-up thread is started after the response is returned to my web-application code, the 2nd webservice call and the 'clean-up thread(cleaning up sockets created for 1st web-service)' execute simultaneously. And by the time, the actual "java.net.Socket.close()" method is called in the 'cleanup thread', the 2nd web-service invocation is already started using the SAME socket object.
Now, at this point, the clean-up thread closes the socket (which was created while invoking the first web-service). And since, the second web-service invocation is using the same socket object, the invocation of 2nd web-service terminates abruptly and the following exception is thrown: : java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(HttpClient.java:777) at sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(HttpClient.java:640) at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:1195) at java.net.HttpURLConnection.getResponseCode(HttpURLConnection.java:379) at org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit$WrappedOutputStream.handleResponseInternal(HTTPConduit.java:1542) at org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit$WrappedOutputStream$1.run(HTTPConduit.java:1499) at org.apache.cxf.workqueue.AutomaticWorkQueueImpl$3.run(AutomaticWorkQueueImpl.java:395) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) Please let me know if you are facing any issues while reproducing the issue. I will be more than happy to help. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Camel-CXF-Webservice-Client-2-consecutive-web-service-calls-fail-tp5744027.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
