Official reasons for “Software caused connection abort: socket write error”

Question

Given this stack trace snippet

Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error
&nbs

Answer 1

Closed connection in another client

In my case, the error was:

java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

It was received in eclipse while debugging a java application accessing a H2 database. The source of the error was that I had initially opened the database with SQuirreL to check manually for integrity. I did use the flag to enable multiple connections to the same DB (i.e. AUTO_SERVER=TRUE), so there was no problem connecting to the DB from java.

The error appeared when, after a while --it is a long java process-- I decided to close SQuirreL to free resources. It appears as if SQuirreL were the one "owning" the DB server instance and that it was shut down with the SQuirreL connection.

Restarting the Java application did not yield the error again.

config

• Windows 7
• Eclipse Kepler
• SQuirreL 3.6
• org.h2.Driver ver 1.4.192
