jboss remote naming - too many open files on linux

[qtm]

Hello,

If I specify an invalid hostname in the connection properties, some files/sockets/connections remain open:

		final Properties env = new Properties();
		env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.remote.client.InitialContextFactory");
		env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "remote://inexistent-server-address:4647"); Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);

I can see lsof -p my_app_pid | wc -l  increasing with each connection try. Eventually it would reach the too many open files point.

I'm using 1.0.5.

Context ctx = null;

try{

       ctx = new InitialContext(env);

} finally{

if (ctx != null){

      ctx.close();

} }does not help.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

what's your output of ulimit -n? (assuming you start it with the appropriate user)

Which exact version of AS7? There was a bug in 7.1.1.Final which was fixed later. Try the newly released version http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads.html

@Mark - The limit is big(16k), so the too many files error is not reached easily, but it could be reached in time.

The version is 7.1.2. But isnt' this a problem of the jboss-remote-naming jar?

LATER EDIT: My mistake, I was using 1.0.3. In 1.0.5 the bug is fixed
