exception : javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Remote host closed connection during handshake about javapns HOT 16 CLOSED

When you:
Enable SSL logging in java by adding the following to your java VM arguments:

-Djavax.net.debug=all

What SSL errors do you get?

[deleted comment]

It works fine when we restart the tomcat server.

It appears again after sometime. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds like you are trying to maintain a socket connection or running into the 
200 message limit that others have commented on. 

Would you verify?

I tried sending around 300 push in a loop and they all are successful.

This above piece of code is called by a scheduled job through quartz. 
It works fine for 2-3 hrs. But after that starts giving this exception, 
everything
resolves after we restart the server.

Sounds like you are trying to maintain a socket connection.

The error is: Remote host closed connection during handshake

which would indicate that connection lapsed or you're not initializing the 
connection properly.

I am calling above methods in this order

1. initializeConnection();
2. sentMessage(notificationDetail);
3. stopConnection();

But exception is coming in 2. call when we use sendNotification method of 
PushNotificationManager instance. 

I even tried with not calling 3. stopConnection as mentioned in some threads 
which i found. But that is also of no help. I am receiving same exception. 

I am not able to find any clue at all why this is happening??

It appears the getInstance is not syncronized. I'm updating the code to handle 
this.

Basically, when you call calling PushNotificationManager.getInstance you are 
getting a different instance of the singleton.

At the moment you would be better off having a class variable that stores that 
instance, so that you are guarnteed to get the same instance back.

Or you can try the new 163 version I just uploaded and provide feedback.

Thanks for that i'll try that and update you on this.......

I tried getting instance only once. But same error occurred again after some 
tries.

I was receiving the same javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException exception and I 
solve this issue by removing all duplicates of org.json.JSONObject classes from 
my project (refactoring some packages helped ie org.json -> 
org.json.myframework). Javapns and otherframework included same org.json 
package with same class names within them - so that was the problem in my case 
- JAR hell :(

If you use Eclipse try Ctrl+Shift+T <JSONObject> to check for duplications.

Thanks for replying.

I have checked that also, but there is no duplication of jars for 
org.json.JSONObject classes. There exist only one jar for these classes i.e. 
javapns-jdk1.5-v1.6.2.jar.

hi, I' getting the same error, please help me out

My guess is that you are not connecting to the correct host and/or port.

What troubleshooting have you done

ceryash, were you able to fix the issue you reported?
