java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer

Posted by sankar on March 23, 2001 at 5:10 AM

hi,
I face the following exception "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer" .I don't know the exact reason.But i found that if data transfer happens only from a client to server above exception is thrown(i.e. using outputstream class in client and inputstream class in server).But if i have a data transfer from client to server and also vice versa exception is not thrown(i.e using output and input stream classes in client and also in server).
> Hello there!!!

> I think, "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer" is caused due to manual malfunction performed by the user in the browser like stopping, moving forward, moving backward when a request is placed to the server and waiting for it to get it done.

> Anyway I am trying more to find the actual issue... If anyone interested can contact me in this regard...
