Ways to prevent broken pipe?

Question

ClientAbortException:  java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe

If I am wright, this happens when user aborts current operation or makes another request, before the last one is finished.

Can this reflects on browsing user or is this (always) just a Catalinas exception?

Are there any ways to avoid this exception?

Answer 1

Try defining a filter for all resources in your webapp, and catch & discard the exception there. I'm not sure if it will work, but give it a try.

In 99% of the cases this exception can be ignored, because it's mainly called by user disconnects (i-net breaks, user hits stop, closes browser, etc)
