[jcifs] Intermittent "jcifs.util.transport.TransportException: Connection in error" being encountered

[Michael B Allen]

HI Sourav,

That error is probably exactly what it says. I suspect the load on the
machine has simply increased recently and it's taking longer for Java
to get around to JCIFS' needs. Just try increasing the timeouts like:

  jcifs.smb.client.responseTimeout = 120000
  jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout = 140000

This increases timeous 4 x from the default.

However, it would be better to identify why it is taking so long
between sending the request and receiving the response and isolate the
bottleneck and fix it. It might be memory, traffic, a slow CIFS
server, etc.
