Broken Pipe Exception
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe exception appears in the WebSphere Application Server logs
 
Cause
Exception appears when a file transfer is interrupted. The most common cause being the end-user canceled a download.
 
Solution
The exception is not a defect and is by design. Canceling after a download begins will disconnect the downloading stream, hence broken pipe.

However, in an effort to prevent it from appearing in the logs, the customer may try and catch the exception within their application before it reaches the logs.
