Problem establishing socket connection. after that, if cable recovered, then thing is ok; if jboss started when cable is unplug, then it doesn't matter whether cable is plug in and plug off, both jboss and client app are working fine. so my question is, how to set, so jboss/client always keep running fine regardless cable (both jboss and client ran in same machine)?
