Javae.net.BindException: Address in Use error

[sachin]

In one of our scheduled report, this error caused the report to fail, any idea what happened to cause this error.

java.net.BindException: Address in use: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(Unknown Source) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.axis.components.net.DefaultSocketFactory.create(DefaultSocketFactory.java:129) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.getSocket(HTTPSender.java:157) at org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender.invoke(HTTPSender.java:114) at org.apache.axis.strategies.InvocationStrategy.visit(InvocationStrategy.java:71) at org.apache.axis.SimpleChain.doVisiting(SimpleChain.java:150) at org.apache.axis.SimpleChain.invoke(SimpleChain.java:120) at org.apache.axis.client.AxisClient.invoke(AxisClient.java:180) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invokeEngine(Call.java:2564) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2553) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2248) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:2171) at org.apache.axis.client.Call.invoke(Call.java:1691) at com.cognos.developer.schemas.bibus._2.CognosReportNetBindingStub.wait(CognosReportNetBindingStub.java:6600) at noticecast.services.soap.sdk.SDKClientPort.wait(SDKClientPort.java:300) at noticecast.services.soap.sdk.AuthenticatingSDKClientPort.wait(AuthenticatingSDKClientPort.java:117) at com.cognos.sds.job.JobStepNode$1.run(JobStepNode.java:103) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

That's not a CRN error, but a webserver (prolly Tomcat) error. It means that 2 instances are trying to use the same port (eg. 80 or 8080). Most likley it's because one instance has shutdown improperly (without releasing the address), then a second one started but could not bind to this address. You should check your webserver logs to see what went wrong to prevent this form happening in the future.

MrO,

I checked my Tomcat Logs and I see an error which appaers everytime CRN server is re-started. It says -

Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on port 9300: 11 Jan 2006 06:27:01,787

so I believe as you said the error is due to Tomcat. Well, when i searched the web i understood that the cognos Web.xml file in WEB-INF folder under Web-apps->p2pd is not being parsed by Digester (parsing tool) in tomcat. Didnt know exactly what to do to resolve this, any idea.

Thanks
