Salut mc's, the solution is quite simple. The (logical) close operation, that issues a closeSend of the ConnectionEvent class has to attach the connection handle to the ConnectionEvent, before broadcasting this event. so: ce = new ConnectionEvent(this, ConnectionEvent.CONNECTION_CLOSED) ; (new) ce.setConnectionHandle(connection) ; does help me in the closeHandle method.
