[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-4608) java.io.EOFException when reading ejb response

["Jack Cai (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jack Cai updated GERONIMO-4608:
-------------------------------

             Priority: Critical  (was: Major)
    Affects Version/s: 2.2
                       2.1.5

After extensive testing and debugging, I believe it's a problem in JDK. The OpenEJB server has written the result properly to the outputstream every time, but occasionally the client failed to retrieve the complete result. The underlying socket or object streams must be doing something wrong.

The failure actually happens quite frequently. I assume it is a common problem for all remote EJB access. On my Windows box the failure usually happens once out of 20 times. So I regard it as a serious reliability problem.

To work around this problem, we can add a BufferedInputStream around the SocketInputStream in the EJB client's code. I created a JIRA against OpenEJB (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1058) and provide a patch there. The patch works well. I ran the monitoring function for 500 times and didn't encounter the problem again.

> In the monitoring admin console page, define a server, enable query and then view its statistics. Keep refreshing the server view page, and soon there will be a "server is offline" message. Initial debugging reveals when the jsp access the server-side agent ejb, there is a java.io.EOFException thrown during the reading of ejb response.
> An old mail discussion also mentioned this problem, see [1]. 
> This problem only occurs on Windows system.
