HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not read JSON: Read timed out

Question

I operate the API server.
When mobile APP contact to API server, sometimes it occur that exception.
I tried test at test server, but I can't reproduce that. (I changed apache and tomcat connection time.)

What's the problem??
How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

The problem is right there in the stack trace: "Read timed out". This means the client stopped sending data to your server for so long that the server gave up and assumed the connection was lost. Then the server could not parse the JSON message because it didn't receive all of it (because it gave up waiting for the client to send the rest).
