title: Does a published endpoint have a limited number of connections? [Java 1.6.0_16]
body: <p>I've created a Web Service using import javax.xml.ws.Endpoint and a client that connects to it using Service.create and service.getPort.
  Now, everything works perfectly fine when only using a small amount of connections...</p>
  
  <p>But - if I launch lets say 1000 concurrent connections (Clients) to my Web Services I get the following "sometimes"</p>
  
  <pre><code>com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
  com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
  ... then it works ...
  ... works again ...
  com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
  com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
  ... works ...
  ... works ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(you get the idea)</p>
  
  <p>But this is not consistent ... so I am wondering ... is there a limit?
  (I am using the lightweight HTTP server provided by the JDK)</p>
