BEA-380000 Error : Thread loss ?

Question

Hi
Information:
My proxy message flow:
1. Proxy calls business service. Business service response is transformed and returned to client.
2. If business service call fails, then proxy writes to database with comment "EmployeeID_Failed". (EmployeeID is in request which I store to variable EMPID). Then it returns error response to client.
I have set read timeout 200 and connection timeout 60 for the business service. That's enough I guess.
===============================================================================================================
Problem:
Problem is when backend service is overloaded with requests from other clients it returns the following -
<con:fault>
<con:errorCode>BEA-380000</con:errorCode>
<con:reason>[WliSbTransports:381304]Exception in HttpOutboundMessageContext.RetrieveHttpResponseWork.run: java.net.SocketTimeoutException

<con:path>response-pipeline</con:path>
</con:location>
</con:fault>
And nothing is written to DB!! Request volume is in thousands and hence I am not able to confirm if the response was returned to client or not as well.
===============================================================================================================
Observations: Returned response body content after timeout error is empty. Header content is also empty.
===============================================================================================================
My question is - is there any thread loss involved due to BEA-380000?

Answer 1

If the web service is in weblogic. Open a web browser and type something like:
http://weblogicserver:port/serviceURI?WSDL
If the browser cannot find the page it's likely your URI is invalid.
