SocketException thrown when reading from socket.

Question

I got a thread that listen on a socket for data with: while (LISTENING)
new AAAcknowledgeThread(serverSocket.accept()).start();
When the thread mentioned executes and tries to read from the socket with:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
A SocketException is thrown with the following stacktrace:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read
at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source)

at java.io.BufferedReader.readLine(Unknown Source)

Does anybody know what could cause my problem?

Answer 1

If you are creating the Socket in another Thread then I don't think the thread you create can read from that InputStream/OutputStream. I remember doing something like this while transfering files through RMI. I was openning a File and passing the FileOutputStream to another thread that pulled the file through RMI. That thread couldn't write to the outputstream, and would throw an exception. When I let the thread open it up. It worked.
