    Hi Madhu,

    "Socket closed" likely means that the network connection has been interrupted, most likely on the client (i.e. User) side. The most likely culprit could an antivirus/firewall on the user's computer forcibly closing the connection.

    Most importantly, it looks like you're still using RMI for workbench connectivity; this is considered outdated and very likely not to be handled properly by firewalls - you should consider switching workbench connectivity to HTTP(S) instead of RMI(S) if that's not already the case.
