server up and client receives java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Hi,

I have a typical client/server application and I am having some problems. At the beginning I always can connect from the client to the server. However if I restart the server and the client only sometimes can connect and some others I receive the following:

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)

at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:305)

at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:171)

at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:158)

at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:452)

at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.connect(DashoA6275)

at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.<init>(DashoA6275)

at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl.createSocket(DashoA6275)

I am using java 1.4.2. I think it has something to do with leaving the socket port opened when I finish the program but I don't see anything with netstat -a | grep port_number and also I have a socketInstance.close() in a finalize method in my program.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

My experience has been that:

Exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

means that the IP address active but SSL is not listening on that port.

Essentially, the reciever is not listening for SSL on that port.

You can point a browser (IE) to the url/port and see if it can connect.

Right. The port is not listening. The problem is why it is not listening if it didn't give me any exception before and the port was free when I tried to open it? I have a code that works and open the socket and listen for connections. The connections are made and work perfectly. If now I stop the execution, the socket is now free and the port is not listening. The problem is when I start again the execution and I try to open again the port with the same code that worked before. This time I don't receive any exception but when I check if it is listening for connections in that port, the answer is not, it is not listening. Any idea about why?
