Does anyone know how to find out if a socket has been uncleanly disconnected in java? I've got a simple client/server connection which at the moment just joins stdin and stdout on each side, but when I ctrl-c the client the server part stays in the read/write loop so never accepts new connections. I've set sotimeout (but I think that's only on accept() anyway), and getkeepalive() returns false, but isconnected() still returns true even if the client was killed. So far all I've got off the net is that it should throw an exception if I read from or write to it, but reading from it will either block (which I don't want) or throw a sockettimeoutexception (if the client is waiting for data to stdin), which is exactly the same exception I get if the client was killed. Any ideas? Thanks Simon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
