Checking Server is Up or Not from Client

[Ajay Njallacattu]

Hi,

Is there a way to check automatically whether the server is UP or not or the Client is still activily connected to the server or not from a client.

This is a java standalone application using WEblogic server.


Is there any way to do this.

Automatically means? Are you expecting the server to reach to the clients?

[Ajay Njallacattu]

Automatically means... The Client need to check on a regular interval whether the server up or not..

Is there a possible solution for that..

Because this is a thick client application, only when it save the data or communicate to server it will get to know the status of server. Otherwise you can continue working on locally means client side

You could use HttpURLConnection to do a HEAD request to some known URL every N seconds...
