java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Soc

Question

I'm using JBoss 4.0.5 GA on Windows 7 with Java version 1.5 (I have to use older java version and a JBoss because I'm working with a legacy system). And when I'm starting the server I get the following error:

java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind  

And I believe this causes many other exceptions:

I greatly appreciate if anyone could help. At least to figure out where I should look for the solution (e.g. Is this an error related to windows 7 and JBoss clustering incompatability? Is this because of a wrong port configuration? etc.)

Thanks.

Answer 1

I know this is an old issue, but I've just recently figured out one cause of the issue, as well as the solution. My server socket program worked fine until I put the code into a loop, then I got the error Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind on every attempt to accept() after the first attempt. I had code like this:

ServerSocket ssock = null;
Socket sock = null;

while (loopCount < loopLimit) {
    ssock = new ServerSocket(port);
    ssock.setSOLimit(millis);
    sock = ssock.accept();
    // some code here...
    loopCount++;
}

It was only when I put ssock = new ServerSocket(port) and ssock.setSOLimit(millis); above the loop that I eliminated the error.

Answer 2

It's problem of JAVA 32/64 bit. try run your jar with 32 bit JVM

Answer 3

I had the same issue with Tomcat on Windows 10. Added this to the catalina.bat file near the top:

SET JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Answer 4

this solved my problem :) Add the following JVM option: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
