Hello All,

I have a server application that opens a ServerSocket and then accepts
Socket connections from clients. How can I tell if the client has reset the
connection? I come from the Delphi world where I would just get an event
fired at me, but the Java API does not appear to be set up this way.

We are currently using a time out, but it is important to close the Socket
as quickly as possible because this application only allows one client
connection at a time. Can anyone help me?


Regards,
Gavin Kingsley.
