hi .. does anyone know a way to check if the client still has a network connection to the server?
assumption: soapclient calls method from soapserver. the procedure takes a significantly long time to finish (e.g. 1 hour). while the procedure goes on, the network goes down, such that after the procedure finishes, the soapserver causes an exception to be thrown because it cant send a response to the client. the client in turn does not know if the network is still alive, and waits forever for the server's response. i cant set Call's timeout because it might timeout too early, even before the procedure has finished. and the procedure's length is variable. can be days, or something. anybody got a suggestion? thanks. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
