GCM连接重置

Question

We use the smack library to set up an XMPP connection to GCM. I have already a lot of connection on the application and we've implement ConnectionListener class of Smack Library. So we use following method.

@Override
public void connectionClosedOnError(Exception e) {
    logger.error(e, "connectionListener::connectionClosedOnError::appKey::{}::clientId::{}", appKey, clientId);
}

This implementation has been working for a long time. But last 2 days we got an error like this;

05:16:50,846 ERROR [CcsClient   ] - 
connectionListener::connectionClosedOnError
::appKey::xxx::clientId::xxxx

What is the reason of this ?

Answer 1

I found the source of the problem. We are opening a lot of socket connection to GCM to send out notification. Due to a rule set by our service provider, our socket connections are closed after 10 minutes. But shut down method of the service provider results in an error.

Then smack calls connectionListener::connectionClosedOnError method and trying to reconnect to GCM. But it's so expensive when services on heavy load.
