I have a RESTful server which takes an http POST input from client to vote up songs on server. I have used Apache HTTPClient for client.
public boolean vote() {
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(getHttpParameters());
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 10000); // Timeout Limit
HttpResponse response;
try {
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://127.0.0.1:8080/ws/");
StringEntity se = new StringEntity("{ \"song_id\" : \"2\" }");
se.setContentType(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE,"application/json"));
post.setEntity(se);
response = client.execute(post);
if (response != null) {
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent(); // Get the data in the Entity
String result = convertStreamToString(in);
return true;
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
return false;
}
public static HttpParams getHttpParameters() {
HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
int timeoutConnection = 30000;
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters,
timeoutConnection);
int timeoutSocket = 30000;
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, timeoutSocket);
return httpParameters;
}
When I click vote button on succession, after few votes (like 7-8), I get java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out exception.
When I searched the reason, I found this is because client didn't get server response on timeout period. But the problem is that when I use other applications like Chrome REST Console or JMeter, I can vote a lots of votes on the same server with same parameters and path. Is there any problem with my java code. Please help me figure this out. Following is my stacktrace:

From the javadoc we read that this exception :” Signals that a timeout has occurred on a socket read or accept”. That means that this exception emerges when a blocking operation of the two, an accept or a read, is blocked for a certain amount of time, called the timeout.
From the client side, the “read timed out” error happens if the server is taking longer to respond and send information. This could be due to a slow internet connection, or the host could be offline. From the server side, it happens when the server takes a long time to read data compared to the preset timeout.
The read timeout is the timeout on waiting to read data1. If the server (or network) fails to deliver any data <timeout> seconds after the client makes a socket read call, a read timeout error will be raised.
Here are few pointers/suggestions for investigation
vote method which creates a fresh HTTP connection.HttpClient instance to post to the server. This way it wont create too many connections from the client side. HttpClient needs to be shut and hence call httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown(); to release the resources used by the connections.

I don't think it's enough merely to get the response. I think you need to read it (get the entity and read it via EntityUtils.consume()).
e.g. (from the doc)
System.out.println("<< Response: " + response.getStatusLine());
System.out.println(EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
