Unexpected connection exception

Hi,

I am using Ice 3.5.1 for C++, for Linux.

I have a problem in the implementaion of an operation in a server. When a client invokes that operation, the first invocation works well, but in the second one the client prints over the standard output:

warning: connection exception:
TransceiverI.cpp:721: Ice::ConnectionLostException:
connection lost: recv() returned zero

The log file in the server contains the following lines:

error: unexpected connection exception:
stc/Ice/Network.cpp:1057: Ice::SocketException:
socket exception: Bad file descriptor

After reviewing the source code of the server operation, I have realized that it closes the file descriptor 0 by mistake, by calling:
close (0);

If I remove that sentence, the problem above disappears.

My concern is now about understanding why this happens. As far as I Know, file descriptor 0 corresponds to the standard input. Thus, why is the connection exception thrown when the server closes file descriptor 0?

Kind regards,
Juan

    Hi,

    The exception above indicates that the FD associated to a socket from an Ice connection was also un-expectedly closed. Are you sure your implementation isn't closing other FDs as well? I tried just closing the FD 0 with the hello world demo and I didn't get this issue.

    Cheers,
    Benoit.

    Hi,

    my code just calls close(0), no more calls to close() are done.

    I forgot to indicate that I am using only SSL connections.

    Cheers,
    Juan

    Hi,

    Can you reproduce the problem with a small test case based on one of our demos for example?

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
