Hi! It seems there is no way to get notified about clients connection closing (e.g. 'Stop' button in browser is pressed). Frankly, I was very surprised when I couldn't have found any single word in Servlet 2.3 Spec regarding such situation. I've looked through RFC 2616 and (after dozen tries :) ) finally:
" 8.1.4 Practical Considerations ... When a client or server wishes to time-out it SHOULD issue a graceful close on the transport connection. Clients and servers SHOULD both constantly watch for the other side of the transport close, and respond to it as appropriate. If a client or server does not detect the other side?s close promptly it could cause unnecessary resource drain on the network. ... " I would say "it could cause unnecessary resource drain" on the server as well. Is there chances we'll be able to found something like "ConnectionEventListener" in future specs and (much sooner I hope) in Tomcat? P.S. I'll be very glad if I am wrong and just miss something obvious. P.P.S I'll be happy if somebody tells me if and where I'm wrong. Thanks in advance.
