How do I fix Java net SocketException connection timed out?

Using try/catch/finally If you are a developer, so you can surround the socket connection part of your code in a try/catch/finally and handle the error in the catch. You might try connecting a second time, or try connecting to another possible socket, or simply exit the program cleanly.

How do I fix Java net SocketException socket closed?

In the client code, after waiting for 15 seconds (or less), you can throw a new exception (using throws new Exception() ), but you have to remove the finally clause or else then the connection will close normally and no SocketException will be thrown.

What causes a Java net SocketException connection reset?

The java. net. SocketException: Connection reset error usually comes when one of the parties in TCP connection like client or server is trying to read/write data, but other parties abruptly close the connection like it was crashed, stopped or terminated.

This is happening because some times your server is taking too long to respond. Actually this could also happening due to a slow network, so you don't have full control over it. If you were using HttpClient, you could increase the timeout period:

HttpParams httpParameters = new BasicHttpParams();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParameters, CONNECTION_TIMEOUT);
HttpConnectionParams.setSoTimeout(httpParameters, WAIT_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT);
HttpConnectionParams.setTcpNoDelay(httpParameters, true);

client = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParameters);

CONNECTION_TIMEOUT is the time to wait for a connection to establish. WAIT_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT is the time to wait for data to be received - in your case this is what you need to increase.

Bottom line:

  • Stop using URL and start using HttpClient now.
  • The situation you are describing is a very common one in a production application and you need to cater for it. Increasing the timeout won't always help, as your application will appear to halt when there is a slow network. You could add a retry mechanism or inform the user that the request has failed and ask him to try again.
