How to fix java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe?

by

This is caused by:

  • most usually, writing to a connection when the other end has already closed it;
  • less usually, the peer closing the connection without reading all the data that is already pending at his end.

So in both cases you have a poorly defined or implemented application protocol.

There is a third reason which I will not document here but which involves the peer taking deliberate action to reset rather than properly close the connection.
