Connection reset by peer: socket write error

I am getting this problem intermitently when i am running my form
***************************
Message6946
Error31: fxbch.orders.BCHOrderCtrlServlet.forwardTo()
DateTime: Fri Nov 01 17:07:51 GMT+05:30 2002
Trace: javax.servlet.ServletException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
Message: An exception occurred while trying to forward request to the url:BO0302

This error is not coming always, and what I have seen is it happens only when the form takes more time to load. I get a white page with this above error written in log.
does anybody know when this error comes?
thanks

Connection reset by peer typically means that for some reason or other, the browser closed the connection. When the servlet tries to write if finds a closed socket. Maybe the browser is timing out the connection - does your form writing servlet write anything before it starts the long process of loading the form? Maybe you could write something and flush the stream to let the browser know progress was being made.

Hey, out is always some kind of OutputStream. OutputStream has the flush() method. Isn't inheritance wonderful!
