java.net.SocketException: Connection reset in spring Rest template

Question

I have a strange problem here.

The below code is working fine until I restart the tomcat server at client side. Once I restart the tomcat server (client program is there in the war file) with the latest war file of the same code, it throws the below error. I am using JDK 8.

Below is the sample code. From the browser, I am able to get a response from the URL used in the below program. but not able to get the data using java program or Postman also.

package com.example.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;

@Component
public class TestService implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        download();
    }
    
    private void download() {
        System.out.println("Started download");
        try {
            RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
            String url = "https://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/stock_watch/niftyStockWatch.json";
            byte[] forObject = restTemplate.getForObject(url, byte [].class);
            System.out.println(forObject);
            System.out.println("Downloaded");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception " + e);
        }
    }
}

Here's the exception raised:

org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "https://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/stock_watch/niftyStockWatch.json": Connection reset; nested exception is java.net.SocketException: Connection reset

Answer 1

The simplest answer is when you restart tomcat simply you close the socket and then you try to send more data to the closed socket. that is why you get IO exception since you can't write data
