Socket timeout Posted: Feb 13, 2006 1:10 PM

We have a data client and server. The server periodically
gets restarted, and the client needs to be able to detect
that the server is no longer alive. The server sending a
shutdown notice/command is not an option.

What I have been doing the client is this:

Socket socket = new Socket(host, port)
socket.setSoTimout(30000); // 30 seconds
InputStreamReader reader = socket.getInputStream();
while(flag) {
try {
char c = reader.read();
<stuff>
}
catch(SocketTimeoutException e) {
<stuff>
}
}

Problem is, instead of a SocketTimeoutException
after 30 seconds, after *maybe* 2 minutes I'll get
an IOException. Can anyone please help me?
