Re: [xmlblaster] socket reconnect flood

[Marcel Ruff <mr at marcelruff.info>]

In
xmlBlaster/src/java/org/xmlBlaster/util/protocol/socket/SocketUrl.java

line 270,271,412,413

we reset the properties settings e.g.

  finally {
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "");
        System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "");
     }

could you please comment those lines out so the properties keep their values
and recompile
 cd xmlBlaster
 build all

Please report if this has resolved your problem,

thanks
Marcel
