Spark clients constantly reconnecting. Why?

I am running newest version of Openfire on Linux Mint 17. I have the server configured to use AD via LDAP and have tested connections. I can perform a constant ping to the server from clients and there is no latency (connection avg <2ms), no dropped packets. Yet the Spark clients cannot sustain a connection to include even doing a search.

Anyone have thoughts?

Usually Openfire and Spark write log files. Posting them here after removing any sensitive information may help.

I installed openfire 4.0.2 on Ubuntu Server 14.04 using the .deb provided by igniterealtime.org

I had the same behavior. I solved it by using openjdk-8.

The reason why I did that was because in warn.log there was message stating a java.util… something does not exist. IIRC triggered by “mina”

Even if the .deb package requires openjdk-7, is openfire still supported on java7 or does it requre java8? Or was the .deb compiled with java8 and target 1.7 option but with java8 bootstrap classpath?

Didn’t work for me. Clients can never connect, it just sits in the reconnecting loop.
