socket programming error

[bluemichael]

I am running a Java program with an application server on AIX i am opening a socket with an ip address and port number, localhost and port 1111 I have also tried 127.0.0.1 instead. the error I get appears to be a native error, that is a c program called by the java.

anyone had much experience with c socket programming on aix? the error is:

errno: 68, error: The socket name is not available on
this system. for fd: 236

I can't find anything about this errno in the AIX manuals can one of you clever C programmers help with this?

thanks

When a socket is created in C, a "socket descriptor" is returned to uniquely identify the socket. The descriptor is normally a 32-bit integer.

Socket descriptors are commonly referred to as "file descriptors" in system calls. Your error indicates the JVM is either:

-Trying to access a socket that no longer exists.
-Is using the wrong descriptor to access the socket.

Both produce the same result. I recommend that you look for more information on Sun's Java site (

http://java.sun.com/)

to see if this is a known issue.

Good luck,
