RE: Socket read error (was: Sniff TCP/IP traffic on iSeries?)

Until you read in my previous e-mail that the OS400 implementation does
not deblock.  Bet you that the JAVA uses a different implementation than
OS400 API's.  Also the Shutdown(sendingsocket:1) causes the remote side
to close the connection.  Thus leading to the following error:

3426 A connection with a remote socket was reset.

Well, it gets weirder and weirder.

We finally got boat loads of PTF's installed ... and can now run our
java server on the iSeries ... but we're still getting the same error.

We're communicating to localhost.  So this rules out networking
problems.

When I run a java test program that interacts with the server (also
running java, different JVM) it responds correctly.  This pretty much
rules out the server application.

However, if I try to invoke the same transaction from RPG, I get the
3426 error when I do the read.  The send works fine ... no errors.

My basic logic is as follows ...

open socket
connect to remote
send data on socket
shutdown sending socket [shutdown(socket:1)]
read data from socket

At this point I'm getting a -1 from the read.  When I get the errno
value, I'm getting 3426.

I'm at wits end on this one.
