[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBREM-971) Enhance server-side connection error handling so certain (potentially revealing) socket-related exceptins are not discarded

Enhance server-side connection error handling so certain (potentially revealing) socket-related exceptins are not discarded --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBREM-971 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-971 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.4.0.CR2 Reporter: Ovidiu Feodorov Assigned To: Ovidiu Feodorov Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.4.0.GA Attachments: JBREM-971.patch A SSL connection (for example) may fail due to handshake problems, but Remoting would discard the original exception and throw a different and less relevant exception, thus hiding the original cause of the error. Example: The server reports Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Socket Closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.setOption(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.setSoTimeout(Unknown Source) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.setSoTimeout(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.SocketWrapper.setTimeout(SocketWrapper.java:85) at org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.ClientSocketWrapper.createStreams(ClientSocketWrapper.java:168) at org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.ClientSocketWrapper.<init>(ClientSocketWrapper.java:66) while in fact the root problem is: 14:39:38,174 ERROR [STDERR] javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: internal_error 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:190) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:136) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.recvAlert(SSLSocketImpl.java:1657) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:932) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:1096) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecord(SSLSocketImpl.java:623) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.AppOutputStream.write(AppOutputStream.java:59) 14:39:38,175 ERROR [STDERR] at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer(BufferedOutputStream.java:65) This makes troubleshooting of a potential simple problem such a misspelled truststore file name laborious and time consuming. The server-side code could be modified to log relevant exceptions.
