Socket blocks -

Question

Hi,
I wrote an application which uses a socket included in a class (to connect to another application)
Each time the "socket-"class is new initialised and finished by setting it null.
But uneven I received a
java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort recv failedwhen reading data from the socket.
myByte = (byte) in.read();      
...Does anyone know where the bug is? Is it the applications fault or the of "other-application" (which I connect to?)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
when I open another port of the "sending-application" it works proberly. But the other port still works only for some varying time - and afterwards throws the described error.
     private Socket clientSocket = null;    
        private BufferedInputStream in = null;
     private BufferedOutputStream b = null;
        private void openStreams(String host, int port)
          clientSocket = new Socket(host, port);
          in = new BufferedOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
          b = new BufferedInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
     private ByteArrayOutputStream receiveData() throws Exception
          byte first = 0;
          byte[] tempBuffer = null;
          ByteArrayOutputStream d = null;
          this.stopp();
          myByte = (byte) in.read();      
          if(myByte  != -1)
               e = new byte[in.available() + 1];
               in.read(e, 1, e.length - 1);
               e[0] = myByte;
               d = new ByteArrayOutputStream(e.length+1);
               d.write(tempBuffer);
               d.flush();     
          return d;
     private void stop() throws Exception
          synchronized(Myclass.class)
               Myclass.class.wait(1000);
     }
