Sounds like it.

Remove the requirement for 2000 simultaneous server sockets. 2000 seems excessive.

Well, it depends on what OS you are using. It's possible to configure in some operating systems (and it's not a Java question in that case, so please don't ask)

Since the application is being developed in JAVA and

ServerSocket socketServer = new ServerSocket(iPort);

is throwing IO Exception and is not allowing me to create more instances of ServerSocket objects. This is the reason behind posting this issue in java forums.

I thought this is something which people might have faced and since this is developed in java this issue is posted.

I guess no one should have a problem when it comes to sharing knowledge.

thank you

Here is the exception that is being thrown

java.net.SocketException: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): listen failed

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

at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.listen(Unknown Source)

at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(Unknown Source)

at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source)

at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(Unknown Source)

The above exception is being thrown after 325 serversocket objects are created.

The Question now is is this some thing which is Windows dependent?

OR

Is there any issue which can be fixed programatically?

thank you

Doesn't matter if you are using Java, VB or C++. You would have the same problem, and that is why it isn't Java related. It's OS related, and you should post the question in a forum that is related to configuration / administration of your OS type.
