      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :


      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The method sun.net.www.http.HttpClient#available() can throw java.net.SocketException, which can cause the creation of the HttpClient to fail. This will happen if there is a connection in the cache that has timed out and the socket has been closed.

      This method was added in a recent commit:

      http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u/jdk/diff/e6dc1d9bc70b/src/share/classes/sun/net/www/http/HttpClient.java

      The exception is:

      Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Socket Closed
      at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.getOption(PlainSocketImpl.java:286) [rt.jar:1.6.0_38]

      at org.apache.cxf.transport.http.HTTPConduit$WrappedOutputStream.handleHeadersTrustCaching(HTTPConduit.java:1410)

      The getSoTimeout() call should probably be in a try/catch block.

      It appears that other people have also run into this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14270311/rather-mysterious-socketexception-with-java-1-6-on-centos-4
