Unable to call Web Services after upgrading JRE to 8u65

I have a web service hosted on IIS on windows machine. Everything went fine until I upgraded Java to JRE 8u65.
Now it is throwing the below exception on invoking the web service.
Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of
file from server at
sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTPHeader(Unknown Source) at
sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.parseHTTP(Unknown Source) at

sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown

Note : Previously I was using JRE 8u60. Any help in this regard is really helpful.
Thanks in advance!

The stacktrace you have shown us comes from a Java client for your web service. What is saying is that the server has closed the network connection before sending an HTTP response.
There is no evidence in this stacktrace to say why the web service did that. The evidence is probably in the service logs.

I have figured out the problem ..actually our client is using clustering of server with a load balancer. after investigating each ends, I found |The SOAP envelope does not have proper structure as expexted by web service. It is occuring when load balancer redirects request to a server. It has been resolved when I reinstalled the SOAP web service EAR FILE on server.

"access denied" when using JDBC from a browser applet

I have a java applet that queries an Oracle database for data. When run from inside an IDE, it functions just fine. But when I run it as an applet embedded in a webpage, I get an "access denied" error in the class loader, and I haven't the foggiest notion what it is requiring of me:

Applets runs in an environment with very restrictive security rules. You need at least to sign your applet.
But, the problem is bigger here, doing JDBC inside an applet is a very bad idea. The applet's source code is publicitly available and is thus sensitive for easy hacks. You should really create a webservice for that instead and then let your applet access that webservice instead. With a webservice, your applet will be able to exchange information with the DB by just HTTP requests/responses. With a webservice you hide the DB access details, JDBC and SQL code from the public.
How exactly to create a webservice depends on the server environment and the programming language used. In Java EE for example, you could already use a simple Servlet for this, but also JAX-RS and JAX-WS is supported for restful (XML/JSON) and XML webservices respectively. An applet is without any security restrictions allowed to connect with its host whose address is available by getCodeBase() E.g.
InputStream response = new URL(getCodeBase(), "servlet?foo=bar").openStream();
// ...

Note that if you follow the advice of BalusC and hide the DB behind a an active page (e.g. a servlet, PHP, ASP etc.) that is on the same server as the applet, the applet could most probably remain sand-boxed. It would be the active page that is trying to access class-loaders (as well as the DB).

GWT StatusCodeException when making an apache ZooKeeper getChildren() call the server side

I have created a GWT app that displays Zookeeper nodes data as it changes. I have tested my zookeeper watcher classes outside of GWT and know they work. However, when my servlet class calls my zookeeper watcher classes, and those classes try to call getChildren(...) on a zookeeper node my code fails inside of that call. This exact code works when called from other classes that aren't involved in GWT.
It throws this exception

I cannot figure how to solve this error, and any help would be appreciated.

I did face a similar problem, and found that all data that is sent via RPC should be serialized. Does your domain class implement Serializable or IsSerializable?
Thanks
Mukul

Also it could be due to the missing in the service.xml for the particular service you are getting the error(which will be in jetty server log).

The same error is found while using HTTP Client 3.1.
My Environment
Application Server : Websphere application server 6.1.0.23
Java : JDK 1.5.0.16

Actually a more complete answer than suppressingfire is
Add com.ibm.ws.admin.client_7.0.0.jar to java build
This solves the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.ffdc.Manager error.
Add to setup:
import java.security.Security;
...
Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
This solves the Cannot find the specified class com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory

When I enabled javax.net.debug, I noticed that there was a missing class com.ibm.websphere.com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory.
I was experiencing trouble in unit tests that invoke httpclient. What I ended up doing was to add this line to my TestClass.setUp()
Security.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider", "com.ibm.jsse2.SSLSocketFactoryImpl");
