Why am I receiving a java.net.SocketException: Connection reset error from web service through SOAP UI and Java client?

I am converting a visual foxpro application to a java web application and one small, but important piece of the application makes a soap request to a web service.

I have written 3 test clients to call this web service, and I have also tested through SOAP UI. Every one of my tests to this web service returns the error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset. So I am obviously missing the same thing in every method of test, or doing the same thing wrong.

I have the foxpro code, and I have successfully submitted the request via foxpro and received a valid response. But I don't have any experience with Foxpro, so I have been struggling with the difference between the code in foxpro that works and the new code I'm writing in java.

I am hoping that someone with more experience with Soap and web services can see my code, maybe try it themselves, and help me understand what the problem is.

I will provide the web service url as well as all my code. I will also provide the foxpro command line code that works.

The foxpro code uses CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"). I have learned through my research that this is also used in ASP, VB.net and C#.

1) Here is the web service that I need to call:

Host: https://rlisapi.myfwc.com/

Soap Endpoint: https://rlisapi.myfwc.com/wsReceipts.asmx

WSDL: https://rlisapi.myfwc.com/wsReceipts.asmx?WSDL

This web service doesn't contain ws-security. The credentials are in the request itself. I can't provide those, of course, but I don't believe they are needed to help me solve the connection reset problem.

2) First client I created used SAAJ API. Here is my code:

(4) I have a similar test client that uses HttpUrlConnection

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;

public class TestXmlClient {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String argUrl = "https://rlisapi.myfwc.com/wsReceipts.asmx";

        System.out.println("Test XML Client");

        String requestXml = 
                "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" +
                "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"" +
                "xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" " +
                "xmlns:soap=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\">" +
                "<soap:Body>" +
                "<getDailyReceipts xmlns=\"http://api.outdoorlicensesolution.com/RLIS/\">" +
                "<Content-Length>494</Content-Length>" +
                "<ConsumerPIN>my-consumer-pin</ConsumerPIN>" +
                "<AgentID>000</AgentID>" +  //not real agent id
                "<ReceiptDate>2013-07-01T00:00:00</ReceiptDate>" +
                "</getDailyReceipts>" +
                "</soap:Body>" +
                "</soap:Envelope>" ;

        System.out.println("Request: " + requestXml);

        //try {
        URL url;
        OutputStreamWriter writer = null;
        InputStreamReader reader = null;
        HttpURLConnection con = null;

        try {
            url = new URL (argUrl);
        con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

        URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
        HttpURLConnection httpc = (HttpURLConnection)urlc;
        // only interested in the length of the resource
        httpc.setRequestMethod("HEAD");
        int len = httpc.getContentLength();

        System.out.println("length: " + len);

        // specify that we will send output and accept input
        con.setDoInput(true);
        con.setDoOutput(true);

        con.setConnectTimeout( 20000 );  // long timeout, but not infinite
        con.setReadTimeout( 20000 );

        con.setUseCaches (false);
        con.setDefaultUseCaches (false);

        // tell the web server what we are sending
        //con.setRequestProperty ( "Content-Type", "text/xml" );
        con.setRequestProperty ( "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8" );
        //con.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close"); 

        writer = new OutputStreamWriter( con.getOutputStream() );

        writer.write(requestXml);
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();

        // reading the response
        reader = new InputStreamReader( con.getInputStream() );
        StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder();
        char[] cbuf = new char[ 2048 ];
        int num;
        while ( -1 != (num=reader.read( cbuf ))) {
            buf.append( cbuf, 0, num );
        }
        String result = buf.toString();
        System.err.println( "\nResponse from server after POST:\n" + result );

        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getStackTrace());
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally{
            if (writer != null) { 
                try { 
                    writer.close(); 
                } catch (Exception e) { 
                    // ignore... 
                } 
            }
            if (reader != null) { 
                try { 
                    reader.close(); 
                } catch (Exception e) { 
                    // ignore... 
                } 
            } 

            if (con != null) { 
                try { 
                    con.disconnect(); 
                } catch (Exception e) { 
                    // ignore... 
                } 

            }   
        }
    }
}

Finally, in addition to all these test clients, I also tried submitting various requests using SOAP UI. Interestingly, I couldn't load the wsdl from the url so I saved the wsdl source code to a local file and used it.

Here is the request generated by Soap UI from the wsdl file:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:rlis="http://api.outdoorlicensesolution.com/RLIS/">
   <soap:Header/>
   <soap:Body>
      <rlis:getDailyReceipts>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <rlis:ConsumerPIN>?</rlis:ConsumerPIN>
         <rlis:AgentID>?</rlis:AgentID>
         <rlis:ReceiptDate>?</rlis:ReceiptDate>
      </rlis:getDailyReceipts>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

From all my research over the last couple of days, what I've determined is that this error is most often caused by the server closing the connection prior the client being done reading it.

At first I thought there was something wrong with the web service itself, but since I'm able to run the foxpro command and get a valid response, that can't be the case.

I tried changing many of the preferences in Soap UI settings too, including the socket timeout.

Also, my requests do not go through a proxy server.

Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Then the series of messages repeats.

So I think what this is showing is that there was first a connection request made from the client ,which was acknowledged by the server. Then there was a Client Hello, a Server Hello, Handshake Protocol Certificate, Server Hello Done, Client Key Exchange, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message and then finally the Connection Reset (RST) from the server.

I looked up what the Expert Info on the last frame means, and it looks like it could mean protocol sequence suspicious, e.g. sequence wasn't continuous or a retransmission was detected...

This still has me scratching my head! I don't understand what I may be doing in my code, or from Soap UI that could cause this connection reset from the server. And why it doesn't happen from the Microsoft.XMLHTTP post in foxpro code... Could it be that my request is getting sent as fragments and the server won't accept that?

I think I am going to try to run a wireshark capture while running the foxpro command, but that is on a PC with Windows 8, so I need to first figure out how to run it under admin. The java test client I'm running that gets a connection reset is on my mac.

In the meantime, does anyone have any further insight?

As I can see, all of your examples should work properly.

I recomment you to use some packet tracing software, like wireshark or fiddler, and check for the request/response headers. Maybe there is some extra info (UserAgent, etc) that you need to set on the connection before requesting the OutputStream

================ UPDATE ======================

As you specified, server requires you to enable SSLv3. Use this before establishing connection

System.setProperty("https.protocols", "SSLv3");

I did this in my test, and it seemed to connect since I could write the soap message to the OutputStream, but I got an 500 Error from the server, which is a good thing since that is a werbservice internal fault

Now you need to find what is wrong in the soap message, or the message data

================ UPDATE 2 ======================

Fixed!

To clarify, I'm using the test number 4 (HttpUrlConnection)

Theres a missing space at the end of the 3rd line of the message

"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"" +

should be

"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" " +

cause gets contatenated with xmlns:xsd definition.

I got this response
