[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBREM-1002) Allow ServerThread to keep running after SocketTImeoutException, part 2

Allow ServerThread to keep running after SocketTImeoutException, part 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBREM-1002 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-1002 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.2.2.SP7 Reporter: Ron Sigal Assigned To: Ron Sigal Fix For: 2.2.2.SP8 In response to JBREM-945 "Allow ServerThread to keep running after SocketTImeoutException", org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.ServerThread was changed so that after experiencing a SocketTimeoutException, it would go on to wait for the next invocation. It turns out not to always be a good idea to continue after a SocketTimeoutException. In particular, once a java.io.ObjectInputStream throws a SocketTimeoutException, all subsequent reads will throw an EOFException. In this case it would be better immediately to close the ServerThread's socket and inform the client side that the connection is not usable. On the other hand, an org.jboss.serial.io.JBossObjectInputStream works as expected; i.e., it will continue to function after a SocketTimeoutException. In this case it is appropriate to keep the ServerThread in use.
