Hi everyone,

I did a simple test program in which i created a server socket and a socket. The socket can connect to host but after it is disconnected, it cannot reconnect anymore. I read i some website that java sockets once disconnect can be reconnected. Is this true?

If this is true is there any way in which i can reset the server and client so that the socket can reconnect to the server.

Sample codes or a detailed explantion about client reconeection would be helpful

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

This in the Socket.close() javadoc does not look promising:

Once a socket has been closed, it is not available for further networking use (i.e. can't be reconnected or rebound). A new socket needs to be created.

 
This. Exactly this. This is what my therapist has been talking about. And now with a tiny ad:
