Re: DatagramSocket "misses" data on MacOS X (JVM 1.6.0_05)
So I finally found something...
Using a connected DatagramSocket does NOT WORK, while using an
unconnected DatagramSocket WORKS.
The problem is, that DatagramChannel doesn't support unconnected
sending. So this shows only the source of the problem and doesn't
serve as a workaround.
Here's my example code, sending the string "test" to an echo server
and receiving the response.
While the first transmit works, the second one will block.
public static void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
String host = "koraktor.de";
int port = 7;
byte[] data = "test".getBytes();
DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket();
DatagramPacket pi = new DatagramPacket(new byte[1500], 1500);
DatagramPacket po;
InetSocketAddress sa = new
InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getByName(host), port);
po = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, sa);
s.send(po);
System.out.println("Data sent: " + new String(po.getData()));
s.receive(pi);
System.out.println("Data received: " + new String(pi.getData()));
po = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
s.connect(sa);
s.send(po);
System.out.println("Data sent: " + new String(po.getData()));
s.receive(pi);
System.out.println("Data received: " + new String(pi.getData()));
}

I did more testing and the problem seems to be really hard to
identify.
Like said before, it's not a problem with the DatagramChannel, but
with the DatagramSocket.
Even without using a channel and without using select, the socket
still loses data (aka blocks forever).
Wireshark shows that the data has arrived, but my program is unable to
read it from the socket.
I'm pretty at a loss now, tried every possible code change and JVM
1.5.0 - nothing helps. :(

Hello.
I have a problem with a Selector.select() call.
I'm using a DatagramChannel for server queries (i.e. client sends
request, server sends response).
After sending a request, I wait for the response with select(). The
DatagramChannel is registered with OP_READ.
Everything works fine on Linux and Windows, but on MacOS X select()
always returns 0. select() always times out or blocks infinetly
(depending on timeout argument). Wireshark shows that the request g=

out and the response is received successfully, but the Selector won=

notice.
Thanks for your help.
Without seeing the code, it's going to be very difficult to offer a
useful suggestion. A demo program, included below, does not
demonstrate the bug.

I forgot to mention that this is happening on the client socket. So
your code doesn't exactly match my problem.
Here's a short version of my code:
public class Test
{
public void main(String[] argv)
throws Exception
{
DatagramChannel dc = DatagramChannel.=
open();
dc.configureBlocking(false);
dc.connect(new InetSocketAddress(SOME_I=
P, SOME_PORT);
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap("test=
".getBytes());
dc.write(bb);
Selector selector = Selector.open();
dc.register(selector, SelectionKey.OP_R=
EAD);
if(selector.select(1000) == 0)
{
throw new TimeoutExcept=
ion();
}
bb = ByteBuffer.allocate(1500);
dc.read(bb);
/* MORE CODE HERE */
}
}
This code always bails out with a TimeoutException on MacOS X.
An additional note: Commenting out the Selector stuff results in
dc.read() to block forever.
So maybe it's not a Selector problem, but a DatagramSocket problem.
