The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.

[Vijayakrishna Pondala]

Hi,

We are using the following error randomly, when accessing a webservice
method/servlet hosted on JBoss application server:

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a
receive.

We are using .NET v1.1.

Does anyone have idea about the reason/solution for this exception?

Thanks,
Vijaya Krishna P.

Hi Vijay,

This is a known issue. Try (on the client side) turning off the proxy
property that controls keep alives. Another option is to create/destroy
the proxy between calls. The proxy is losing the underlying connection
(HTTP can do that) and it doesn't retry when it has a connection already.

I hope this helps

Won't there be any performance effect, due to creating a new connection for
every call?

Yes. Creating a connection requires 7 round trips - which amounts to
introducing 7 x your network latency, plus the time it takes for the port
listener in IIS to accept the connection. So, if you do this repeatedly,
you'll see an increase in network traffic, server CPU utilization, and some
perceptable-to-user delay in WAN situations.

The essence of the known issue is that if a connection times out, it gets
closed. This typically happens with you make a bunch of calls, pause, and
then go some more. During the pause, if the server closes the connection
(it is allowed to do this), then the proxy still tries to use the same
connection, and fails. If you can predict when the pause is, you can limit
recreating the connection to when you need to.

At least it gives you a way to manage the issue until we get a service pack
that has a fix in it out.

I hope this helps

Hi Dan,

In our code, we are creating the WebService class, every time a method of
the class is called. In the constructor of the WebService class, we have
been setting the Proxy property to
GlobalProxySelection.GetEmptyWebProxy(). Is this code creating the problem
in any manner?

Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
It might be an issue. I'm not sure what an empty WebProxy class does - I
suspect you have to set up the properties of that class for your
connections to succeed.

Regards,

Dan
