So I go into the glassfish admin panel and go to Configuration->HTTP Service->Keep Alive tab, I see the timeout value and I change it to 999999. This seems to fix my problem, But I am curious to know how I can work with a reasonable keep-alive value like 15 or 30 seconds.

This value is the time Grizzly will hold your idle connection. If your
client isn't sending anything for 30 seconds (the default) or if you
open a connection and send more than 250 (the default) request, Grizzly
will close it to free the resource allocated (all WebServer does that).
Now just to understand, your WS client is unable to handle the case
where the connection is closed? Kind of sad as all http clients
(browsers, java clients) handle that case by usually re-opening the
connection.
The higher the value is, the higher the connection (and its associated
resources) will be kept in memory. That means performance might be
impacted if you have 10000 idle connections. I recommend a value between
60 seconds and 120 seconds (not more) to avoid wasting resources.
