Hi all,

During my load tests of the ESB (version is 8.2 GA), i encountered some “socked already closed” or “invalid http response” errors. These errors appear only when requests to the Webservcie connector are made simultaneously. The tests are carried out using soapUI or jmeter. This kind of problem appear only when you have more than one core of processor (On my development machine i reproduce the error when i switch from one core to two).

Here is given an extract of a typical error situation in the server.log file :

The different error messages i get are :

_ [ISP.0085.9998E] Exception → java.net.SocketException: Socket already closed
_ [ISP.0085.9998E] Exception → java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed
_ [ISP.0085.9998E] Exception → com.wm.app.b2b.server.ServiceException: [ISS.0085.9298] Invalid HTTP Response

They all seems to be related to a concurrent call to the webservice connector (generated from webservice consumer).

Nobody encountered this kind of problem with 8.2 GA ?

Do you have any network traces going during this load testing? Is this a new installation with the new IS 8.2 or have you been using it for a while?

Also, thread dumps could give you some pointers.

Don’t suppose you might be getting this problem (WSDL performance slowdown)

Upgrading to 8.2 sp2 correct the problem.
