[jboss-remoting-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBREM-1140) Bisocket client cannot detect connection failure

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.
