[omniORB] Why both client and server throw send/receive exceptions?

[Huang, Ethan]

Finally, I found the problem might be caused by timeout problem.
I linked the code with omniORB410_vc8_rtd.dll, and trace into the call.
Interestingly, I found “Send error” always caused by timeout:
File Tcpconnection.cc
int
tcpConnection::Send(void* buf, size_t sz,
		    unsigned long deadline_secs,
		    unsigned long deadline_nanosecs)
…
if (deadline_secs || deadline_nanosecs) {
      SocketSetTimeOut(deadline_secs,deadline_nanosecs,t);
      if (t.tv_sec == 0 && t.tv_usec == 0) {
	// Already timeout.
	return 0;
      }
…
Does anyone have any ideas?
Shall I change some settings of OmniORB to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I got a strange problem that sometimes the call could succeed while sometimes the call failed. 
In the trace, I observed that when failed, both client and server throw send/receive exceptions.
See the trace below (I used OmniORB 4.1):

The Paramerlist_ptr is the function argument passed in the call.
At first, I guessed it might be caused by time out.
However, I checked the configurations: it set clientCallTimeOutPeriod and clientConnectTimeOutPeriod to “0”, which means block reply.
So who abort the connection, the client or the server? And why the connection failed?
By the way, both my client and server were in the same single box of WinXP, but in the trace I found that it used the rule “*unix,ssl,tcp”.
Is this the reason? And how could I fix it?
In addition, sometimes I found the error message “Can not open a new connection”. What does it mean? Is it limited by WinXP or OmniORB settings?
Thanks!
