pgjdbc logical replication client throwing exception

[Dipesh Dangol <ddipeshdan@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

I am trying to implement logical replication stream API of postgresql.

I am facing unusual connection breakdown problem. Here is the simple code that I am

using to read WAL file:

String url = "">2/benchmarksql";
            Properties props = new Properties();
            PGProperty.USER.set(props, "benchmarksql");
            PGProperty.PASSWORD.set(props, "benchmarksql");
            PGProperty.ASSUME_MIN_SERVER_VERSION.set(props, "9.4");
            PGProperty.REPLICATION.set(props, "database");
            PGProperty.PREFER_QUERY_MODE.set(props, "simple");

            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
            PGConnection replConnection = conn.unwrap(PGConnection.class);

            PGReplicationStream stream = replConnection.getReplicationAPI()
                    .replicationStream().logical()
                    .withSlotName("replication_slot3")
                    .withSlotOption("include-xids", true)
                    .withSlotOption("include-timestamp", "on")
                    .withSlotOption("skip-empty-xacts", true)
                    .withStatusInterval(20, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).start();
            while (true) {

                ByteBuffer msg = stream.read();

                if (msg == null) {
                    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(10L);
                    continue;
                }

                int offset = msg.arrayOffset();
                byte[] source = msg.array();
                int length = source.length - offset;
                String data = "" String(source, offset, length);
                System.out.println(data);

                stream.setAppliedLSN(stream.getLastReceiveLSN());
                stream.setFlushedLSN(stream.getLastReceiveLSN());

            }

Even the slightest modification in the code like commenting System.out.println(data);

which is just printing the data in the console, causes connection breakdown problem with

following error msg

I am trying to implement some logic like filtering out the unrelated table after reading log.

But due to this unusual behavior I couldn't implement properly.

Can somebody give me some hint how to solve this problem.

Thank you.
