Socket Closed Exception when pinging NetworkServerControl

[Pavel Bortnovskiy <PB...@Jefferies.com>]

Hello:

I am getting intermittent (rare, but causing fatal shutdown) exceptions 
when pinging NetworkServerControl:

My code pings the NSC in two places - there is one thread which implements 
run() method like this:

final public void run() {
        final Thread currentThread = Thread.currentThread();

        try {
            m_server = new NetworkServerControl(m_host, m_port);
            m_server.start(new PrintWriter(new LoggingOutputStream(logger, 
Level.INFO), true));

            try {
                while (m_thread == currentThread) {
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(m_sleep);

                        if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
                            logger.trace("Pinging NetworkServerControl on 
[" + m_host + ":" + m_port + "]");
                        }

--->                        m_server.ping();   <--- Exception Thrown
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        logger.info(toString() + " sleep has been 
interrupted");
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                logger.error("Error while pinging NetworkServerControl:", 
e);
            }

            logger.info("Stopping NetworkServerControl on [" + m_host + 
":" + m_port + "]");
            m_server.shutdown();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error("Error while starting/stopping 
NetworkServerControl:", e);
        }
    }

And another "validating" thread calls this method at regular intervals:

    final public String isRuntimeValid() {
        final StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
        builder.append(super.isRuntimeValid());

        if (m_server == null) builder.append("\n\t").append("Server is 
null");
        if (m_thread == null) builder.append("\n\t").append("Thread is 
null");

        try {
            m_server.ping();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            builder.append("\n\t").append("Server cannot be pinged");
        }

        return builder.toString();
    }

Can there be any problem if those two are called at around the same time? 
This is probably the only scenario which could, I imagine, cause a 
problem...
Would anyone have any other thoughts or suspicions?

Much appreciated,

Pavel.
