Hi.

Can anybody help me with the following?

I'm using java.net.Socket to connect to a server. The socket is part of a
client application, and I connect to the server at startup. The application
should be able to handle a lost connection due to a restart of the server or
any other reason. Is it a way to check if the socket connection is still
connected or if the connection has been reset?
