SocketException: Connection reset

[Jay]

I have an Application1 that connects to Application2 via a cfinvoke webservice.

<cfinvoke webservice="http://mydomain/synd/myCfc.cfc?wsdl" method="getResult" returnvariable="webClientResult">

    <cfinvokeargument name="ID" value="12345">

</cfinvoke>

when Application2 is running on IIS > ACF8 everything works fine, but when Application2 is running on Tomcat > Railo3

I keep getting a java.net.SocketException: Connection reset exception, with 'additional info' saying: cause = org.apache.axis.AxisFault

does anyone know why this happens / how to fix it?

here's the stack-trace:

Unknown Source. Are you sure your Tomcat/Railo can get to http://mydomain/synd/myCfc.cfc?wsdl ? - It looks like IIS / ACF can reach it, but it looks like Tomcat/Railo can't. Did you let your firewall let Tomcat see out?

hi Todd,

I forgot to mention:  it works on average 7 out of 8 times so it's probably not a firewall issue.  

the thing is that I need it to work 8/8 times...

thanks,

Jay

looks like the problem is with an apache commons library called Axis

maybe "turning chunking off" will help.

does anyone know how to "turn off chunking"?  or where to set the Axis' defaults in Railo?

[Jay]

apparently this is a known issue and I found messages about it from 2009 in the forum, as well as a JIRA ticket https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RAILO-514

I'm posting here "my version of a fix" for the benefit of others who are going through this problem:

save the code below to a file named:  WebClient.cfc

then to use it from your code:

<cfset webServiceResult = createObject( "component", "WebClient" ).getRequest( "http://localhost/webservices/myService.cfc?method=Test&param1=value1&param2=value2&paramN=valueN" )>

<!--- WebClient.cfc begin --->

<cfcomponent>

<cffunction name="getRequest">

<cfargument name="requestUrl" hint="the full url of the request, e.g. http://localhost/webservices/myService.cfc?method=Test&param1=value1&param2=value2&paramN=valueN">

<cfset var Local = {}>

<cfset Local.result = "">

<cftry>

<cfhttp url="#requestUrl#" />

<cfif left( cfhttp.statusCode, 3 ) IS '200'>

<cfif IsWDDX( cfhttp.fileContent )>

<cfwddx action="wddx2cfml" input="#cfhttp.fileContent#" output="Local.result" />

<cfelse>

<cfset Local.result = cfhttp.fileContent>

</cfif>

<cfelse>

<cfset Local.result = cfhttp.statusCode>

</cfif>

<cfcatch>

<cflog file="#Application.ApplicationName#-500" text="#cfcatch.message# - cfhttp request to #requestUrl# failed" type="warning">

<cfset Local.result = cfcatch.message>

</cfcatch>

</cftry>

<cfreturn Local.result>

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

Thanks for the workaround!!
