Bisocket client cannot detect connection failure
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBREM-1140
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1140
             Project: JBoss Remoting
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: transport
            Reporter: David Lloyd
            Assignee: David Lloyd
             Fix For: 2.2.3.SP1


The BisocketClientInvoker never reads from the control socket.  Therefore, it might take a long time for it to notice that the control connection dies, causing confusion between the client and server (for example, the client may reuse a listener ID that the server considers extinct).  By adding a ping reply mechanism, the client must both send and receive a ping for the connection to be known "good", which should help speed up the dead connection detection process.

Since this change is protocol-incompatible, it should be enabled by a configuration option.  I'm using Bisocket.ENABLE_PING_REPLY = "enablePingReply" for this purpose.
