Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (IO Error: Connection reset)

Issue while connecting to Database from JAVA program.

Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (IO Error: Connection reset)

This is sometimes an intermittent issue but it can be easily reproduced by reducing the randomness on the Server

watch -n 1 cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

cat /dev/random > random_bits.bin

Once the issue is consistently reproduced, we can add the following JVM option and start the program.

-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom

This should solve the problem.

If it doesn’t, please feel free to comment here.
