Eclipse paho Mqtt:Getting java.io.EOF Exception

Question

I am getting "java.io.eof" exception,when i am trying to subscribe mqtt client. I am using eclipse paho library and using mosquitto broker. I am not getting any answer of this,so please help me why this happens ?

Mqtt connection and subscribe

I am using this code for connecting and subscribing to mosquitto

private void buildClient(String clientId){
    log.debug("Connecting... "+clientId);
        try {
            mqttClient = new MqttClient(envConfiguration.getBrokerUrl(), clientId,new MemoryPersistence());
            System.out.println(mqttClient.isConnected());
        } catch (MqttException e) {
            log.debug("build client stopped due to "+e.getCause());
        }

        chatCallback = new ChatCallback(this.userService,this);
        mqttClient.setCallback(chatCallback);
        mqttConnectOptions = new MqttConnectOptions();
        mqttConnectOptions.setCleanSession(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void connect(String clientId,String topic) {

        try{
            if(mqttClient == null || !mqttClient.getClientId().equals(clientId)){
                buildClient(clientId);
                mqttClient.connect(mqttConnectOptions);
                subscribe(clientId,topic);
            } 
        }catch (Exception e) {
            log.debug("connection attempt failed "+ e.getCause() + " trying...");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void subscribe(String clientId,String topic) throws MqttException {
        if(mqttClient != null && mqttClient.isConnected()){

            mqttClient.subscribe(topic,0);
            /*try {
                log.debug("Subscribing... with client id :: " + clientId + "topic");
                mqttClient.subscribe(topic,2);
            } catch (MqttException e) {
                log.debug("subscribing error.."+e.getLocalizedMessage());
            }*/
        }

    }
}

And mqtt call back

@Override
public void connectionLost(Throwable arg0) {
    log.debug("Connection lost... attampting retrying due to "
                    + arg0);
    arg0.printStackTrace();
    // chatServiceimpl.connect();

}

@Override
public void deliveryComplete(IMqttDeliveryToken arg0) {
    log.debug("delivered message" + arg0);
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

@Override
public void messageArrived(String arg0, MqttMessage arg1) throws Exception {

    log.debug("Message recived..." + arg1.toString());
    userService.saveChat(arg1.toString());
 }

I am facing this error when i am subscribing to mosquitto

Answer 1

You have multiple clients connecting to the broker with the same clientid, this is not allowed and as one connects the broker will disconnect the currently connected client.

If both clients have automatic reconnection logic then they will just continue to kick each other off.

Change the client id on one of the clients.

Answer 2

As hardillb mentioned above, you have multiple clients connecting. Server (mosquitto) will disconnect the old connection when it receives a connect request from the same client again.

use the isConnected() method on MqttClient object to know if its connected. for eg.

if (! m_client.isConnected()) {
  // reconnect
}
