java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

Question

I am using a servlet which passes a String parameter to another Servlet in another remote system, to get xml response from that remote servlet.

This works fine when i tried to connect to that remote Servlet from my local PC.

But I am getting the error java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server when I execute same from another server.

Error:

Code in My Servlet (client):

if(queryString.equals("Inventory")) {

   String partNum = (String)session.getAttribute("PARTNUM");
   String locId = (String)session.getAttribute("locids");

   strURL = strURL+"/InventoryStatus?queryStr=Inventory&PARTNUM="+partNum;

   URLConnection dbGatewayURL = new URL(strURL).openConnection();

   BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(dbGatewayURL.getInputStream()));//--This is line 52 Mentioned in Error above

   StringBuffer responseData = new StringBuffer();
   String line="";

   while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
      responseData.append(line);
   }

   String result =responseData.toString();
   request.setAttribute("inventryStock",result);

   RequestDispatcher rd=request.getRequestDispatcher ("inventryStatus.jsp?resp=Yes");
   rd.forward(request, response);  
}

Try to telnet to the remote servlet from your server and see whether it connects as expected. If it is not, then that's a connectivity issue.

If it does, try to use a TCP Monitor to see the HTTP traffic that goes from your server to the remote server which has the servlet. http://ws.apache.org/commons/tcpmon/

try to wait() immediately after URLConnection dbGatewayURL = new URL(strURL).openConnection();

It is possible the program moved to the next line before it was able to make the connection

There was nothing wrong with the code but the thing was the remote server wasn't listening to the connection from my server, hence i tried the same code but on another remote server this time and its working fine....! any body know the reason............?

Thanks, needed to add my server to the trusted hosts. Although it was for a SOAP based invocation, since my server was not in trusted hosts, I was getting similar trace
