scalaXB Async Dispatcher java.lang.IllegalStateException: failed to create a child event loop


I am using ScalaXB to make a call to a SOAP Web Service. I generated the code against WSDL using the following command

I am making a call to the web service in a loop. I notice that the code runs fine for sometime but then starts throwing the following error

Solution

  • I found out the answer to this question. The problem was that I was doing a new on the proxy object inside of the loop.

    It seems that these objects create a new connection and don't get cleaned up resulting in the error above.

    I moved the proxy object out of the loop and just called the webservice inside the loop and the problem got resolved.
