Problem in POST request using HTTPClient

[Shubham Guptas]

I wrote load test application for java web application running on tomcat server.

I am using HTTPClient for sending XML request. The code I am using is as follows:

method = new PostMethod("https://" + Simulate.serverIP + ************");
				
				method.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER,new DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler(0, false));
				method.setRequestEntity(new InputStreamRequestEntity(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlMsgToWPI), xmlMsgToWPI.length));
				method.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=UTF-8");
				// Execute request
				int result=-1;
				try{
				client.getState().purgeExpiredCookies();
				result = client.executeMethod(method);
			      if (result != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
			          System.err.println("Execute Method failed for mac " + mac+ " : "  + method.getStatusLine());
			        }
				}
				catch (ConnectException e) {
						
					logger.error("ConnectException generated for mac :"+mac+" ->result ="+	client.getState().toString()+":: "+e.getMessage() +e);
					
				}
				catch (Exception e) {
					
					logger.error("Exception generated for mac at time of executing request :"+mac+" ->result ="+	client.getState().toString()+":: "+e.getMessage() +e);
					
				}
				finally {
					if(!method.hasBeenUsed())
						method.releaseConnection();
					
					//handler.close();
				}

The above code is thread body and I am running 200 threads. but for some requests I am getting following exception

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

From the trace I observe that, sometimes your application gets connection timed out.
