Hang on client only when using Hessian

When server is setup up to use the hessian exporter and the client is using the hessian proxy we are seeing some odd behavior. For some requests the server picks it up handles it fine and completes the request but the client gets stuck when trying to get the response code from the http connection. (Specifically HessianProxy:173)

Interesting information:

• If we switch both the client and server over to burlap this goes away
• If I step through the server code it always works (which makes me think it is some sort of timing issue)

Has anyone experienced this?

Environment:
Spring: 3.0.0.M3
Spring Caucho: 3.2.1
Java: 1.6
Server Conainter: Weblogic 10.3
Client: Stand alone application

Hi

I have encountered exactly the same issue with Spring 3.0.0.RELEASE. I have tried different versions of hessian (3.1.2, 4.0.1) – all of them cause the client to hang infinitely.

I think you are right that it could be some sort of timing issue. If I only do one single request to the server, everything works fine. But the second request always fails (well, It does not actually “fail” – it just hangs forever…)

My environment is basically the same. The Container is Weblogic 10.3.

One remark: With Tomcat 6.0.20 it works…

Cheers
