How to fix java.net.SocketException: Too many files open java.io.IOException in Tomcat, Weblogic Server

Not many Java programmers know that socket connections are treated like files and they use file descriptors, which is a limited resource.

Since Socket connection internally uses TCP protocol, which says that a socket can remain in TIME_WAIT state for some time, even after they are closed. One of the reasons to keep the closed socket in the TIME_WAIT state is to ensure that delayed packets reached the corresponding socket.
