System.Net.Sockets.SocketException error while calling Java API from .NET

Hope you are doing well. Basically I am calling Java API from .NET .
Most of the time it is working absolutely fine but the thing it sometimes once or twice in a day it gives me Socket exception. I am putting down the calling code and the exception stack trace. Any suggestion to fix this once and for all will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.!!
Code :
var client = new HttpClient{Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30), BaseAddress = new Uri(AppSettingsConfiguration.GetConfig<string>("appSettings:Generic"))};
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("key", AppSettingsConfiguration.GetConfig<string>("appSettings:JavaAPIKey"));
var response = client.PostAsync(AppSettingsConfiguration.GetConfig<string>("appSettings:Generic"), new StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(order), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")).Result;
Stack Trace :
Error reported : One or more errors occurred. Inner Exception

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: connect (I did read the others before posting)

I know there are a ton of these posts, but this is a little different. We are using vended code for part of our data processing system, and part of the system sends emails to clients if certain events take place on data insertion or deletion. Recently we have started getting address already in use exceptions. We checked the repository history, and nothing has changed in our code in the last 6 months for this system. We have already tried the typical solutions for this issue including increasing the number of connections allowed to the port with little success. We had a meeting with the vendor, and I asked if anything had changed in their code, and if they would assure that all connections in their code are explicitly closed. They indicated that they are explicitly closing all sockets. However they didn't show us the code so there is no way for us to know if this is true other than taking their word for it. So, the only thing I can think of to do is continue to increase the number of connections to the port until we stop getting bind exceptions. So, what is the industry standard for max number of connections to port 25; is there one? Also if anyone has any other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it? Thanks so much in advance, Robert

java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe with SMTP

I got strange behavior when my application tries to send an email.

To be honest i don't know whats happened. I got these kind of exception for 5 hours.
I want to know whats happened and be able to avoid exceptions in future.
UPDATE 1
SOME_EJB is an ejb with works with timerService. Runs every 3 minutes, when the conditions are met sends an email.
My only idea is that there was some network/database issue and it caused that single execution of task took more than 3 minutes.
MailUtils is a #Stateless ejb

Is the mail sent or not?
It looks like JavaMail is closing the connection to the mail server when the exception occurs. If a previous error caused the server to drop the connection immediately, JavaMail may be getting this exception while trying to send the SMTP BYE command before closing the connection.
Turn on JavaMail Session debugging to see what error the server might have reported before this exception occurs.

ActiveMQ timeout at connection

I have the following problem:
I try to connect to an ActiveMQ broker (which is now down) using the following piece of code
connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory(this.url + "?timeout=2000");
connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
connection.start();
session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
LOGGER.info("Connected to " + this.url);
The problem is that the timeout does not have any effect
connection.start()
is blocked forever.
I inspected ActiveMQ log and found the following info:
2013-12-20 01:49:03,149 DEBUG [ActiveMQ Task-1] (FailoverTransport.java:786) - urlList connectionList:[tcp://localhost:61616?timeout=2000], from: [tcp://localhost:61616?timeout=2000]
2013-12-20 01:49:03,149 DEBUG [ActiveMQ Task-1] (FailoverTransport.java:1040) - Connect fail to: tcp://localhost:61616?timeout=2000, reason: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid connect parameters: {timeout=2000}
The timeout parameter is specified here http://activemq.apache.org/cms/configuring.html
Has anybody any idea how to pass timeout argument to ActiveMQConnectionFactory?
Or how to set a timeout for connection.start() ?
Thank you!
Update: I found this on Stackoverflow: ActiveMQ - CreateSession failover timeout after a connection is resumed . I tried it but the following exception is thrown:
javax.jms.JMSException: Could not create Transport. Reason: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid connect parameters: {transport.timeout=5000}
at org.apache.activemq.util.JMSExceptionSupport.create(JMSExceptionSupport.java:35)
I use ActiveMQ 5.8.0 from maven repo

It appears that your url is invalid still in both cases when attempting to set the timeout property.
If you're trying to have a failover URL, which it looks like you are since it is getting in to the Failover code then you're probably looking for initialReconnectDelay (and possibly maxReconnectAttempts which would throw an exception if the server is still down after the number of attempts is reached).
ActiveMQConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("failover://(tcp://localhost:61616)?initialReconnectDelay=2000&maxReconnectAttempts=2");

Issue with SocketTimeoutException and Jetty

I'm using a Jetty based servlet to do RPC and I'm having an issue where a request that takes a long time throws the following exception on the server:
2012-02-11 21:07:07,673 [btpool0-4] DEBUG org.mortbay.log - EXCEPTION
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

- EOF
I tried setting the Connection,Keep-Alive http request property but that had no effect and from what I can gather, http 1.1 (which I'm pretty sure I'm using) is persistent by default.
So I think there are 2 ways I can try to address this:
figure out how to prevent the timeout exception from being
thrown at all
Have the client issue the initial request without waiting
for a response, and then ping with separate requests to check when
the server is done.
Update (2/12/2012): I set the maxIdleTime as Tim suggested and that did extend the time before the timeout occurred, but then I started getting a new exception:
2012-02-11 23:24:01,187 [btpool0-1] DEBUG org.mortbay.log - EXCEPTION
java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the

at
org.mortbay.thread.BoundedThreadPool$PoolThread.run(BoundedThreadPool.java:475)
So something outside of Jetty was killing the connection, I suspect most likely a firewall. So what I ended up doing was making the server process the request with multiple threads; the original thread would immediately respond to the http request and a second thread would be kicked off to perform the action that was taking a long time. The client would then poll with http requests to check when the action on the server was complete.

This is a socket timeout, so nothing you do at the HTTP level can fix it - hence your keep alive not achieving anything.
Try setting the maxIdleTime on the SocketConnector
