How can I troubleshoot the particular issue of “java.net.socketException connection reset”?

 If you are getting the error message “java.net socketexception connection reset” in your client-server-based Java application, it signifies that the connection between the client and the server has been closed by the remote side. To resolve this particular issue, you can follow several steps:-

Checking networking stability

Verify, that the stability of the network should be good between the client and the server.

Server-side logs

Verify the server-side logs to understand if there are any issues at the end of the server which can lead you to reset of the connection.

Firewall or proxies

Ensure that the firewall or even proxies should not interfere with the communication as they can close the idle connection.

Timeouts and keep alive

Remember to check the possibility of connection time-out. You can adjust the timeout configurations or even implement keep-alive for maintaining the connection.

Here is the basic example given which showcases a Java client attempting to connect to a server:-

Import java.io.*;

Import java.net.*;

Public class Client {

    Public static void main(String[] args) {

        Try {

            Socket socket = new Socket(“server_ip”, 8080); // Replace with the server’s IP and port

            // Perform operations with the socket…

            Socket.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

    }
