Large web service request, connection prematurely closed

[tinny4u]

I wasn't sure where to post this web service question....

(Is there a better place to post this?)

I have a Grails application that I have deployed to JBoss AS 4.2.2.GA

(Ref: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=152946)

This application has some web services (using XFire). One of these web services receives large SOAP pay loads (1MB+). When I try and do one of these large requests I get the following exception.

org.codehaus.xfire.XFireRuntimeException: Could not read XML stream.. Nested exception is com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected end of input block in end tag
at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1441792]
com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected end of input block in end tag
at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1441792]

etc.....

The interesting thing is that this application works just fine when deployed on the Jetty Servlet container.

I wonder if there is some sort of tcp / http buffer setting in JBoss AS that I can manipulate? Or something like that........?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

[tinny4u]

In addition...

If I do a much smaller request to this same web service it works just fine under JBoss.

It does sound like a buffer configuration issue, the question is which buffer and where to configure it. Please post the full stack trace - that might give some clues.

Here is the full exception logging, what do you think? thanks

Digging through the source of Woodstox (http://woodstox.codehaus.org/) was not that helpful - apparently there is some configuration file somewhere that links the Woodstox reader with a socket.

Does the transfer take longer than 20 seconds? If so, try increasing the connectionTimeout in server/xxx/deploy/jboss-web.deploy/server.xml.

You can also try setting maxPostSize at the same location. See the tomcat docs for details: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/http.html (Yes, maxPostSize defaults to 2MB, but if you are sending Unicode characters then each char takes 2 bytes, thus your assumed 1MB message might actually be 1 mega-characters, or 2MBs).

Thanks so much for that useful post. Unfortunately none of the configuration changes I made helped.

Here is my server.xml file. As you can see ive tried to get things going in a sort of brute force manner. Am I missing something? Thanks

A new configuration attribute is available beginning with
release 4.0.4:

cookieDomain configures the domain to which the SSO cookie
will be scoped (i.e. the set of hosts to
which the cookie will be presented). By default
the cookie is scoped to "/", meaning the host
that presented it. Set cookieDomain to a
wider domain (e.g. "xyz.com") to allow an SSO
to span more than one hostname.

Valve uses a JBossCache instance to support SSO credential
caching and replication across the cluster. The JBossCache
instance must be configured separately. By default, the valve
shares a JBossCache with the service that supports HttpSession
replication. See the "jboss-web-cluster-service.xml" file in the
server/all/deploy directory for cache configuration details.

Besides the attributes supported by the standard Tomcat
SingleSignOn valve (see the Tomcat docs), this version also
supports the following attributes:

cookieDomain see above

treeCacheName JMX ObjectName of the JBossCache MBean used to
support credential caching and replication across
the cluster. If not set, the default value is
"jboss.cache:service=TomcatClusteringCache", the
standard ObjectName of the JBossCache MBean used
to support session replication.

All I can suggest is playing around with the settings to see if it changes anything. Beyond that, I'm stumped. Perhaps someone else has some suggestions.

[tinny4u]

Well it would appear that after the appropriate number of restarts it works! Not sure what I did wrong, I must not have saved the server.xml file or something... Also this server is a vmware image so maybe it is something to do with the load on the host OS?

Anyway I will continue to monitor the situation.

Thanks for your help PeterJ!!!

For the record here are the settings that are working for me
