Connection Aborted over RMI

Question

Hi All,
I am sending some data over an RMI call to store it in to a File.
i.e client sends an objcet over RMI and server saves this object in to a File.
but some time the this call is terminated before it reaches the server and socket conncetion is closed.
The stack Trace of this exception is :

                ... 16 moreI thought that this is because of the size of the data,but in my testing some times i am able to store big size data.
Is there any Threshold of RMI or socket to write data?
If any of You have any idea pls Lat me know.
Thanks

Answer 1

It is likely that the other end has closed the connection for some reason.
I would check if the server side has thrown an exception or closed the connection.
The main limit for RMI is the max memory the server process. Anything you send needs to fit comfortably into memory. (from all the client requests combined)
