I have to build a JAVA Nio Server Application in JBoss to read data from a 10-200 Sensor Boxes. They open a stream and send data to me all the time. The comunication is bidirectional. Now, sometimes it can happen, that these Boxes (or the server) have some internal error. To detect this kind of problems, an observer thread checks every 5 seconds, if a data block came in since the last check. If none of my Boxes sent data till then, something bad happened and I want to restart the whole socket comunication.
Now, it is well documentated how to build up a socket connection with NIO, but it is harder to find complexe examples how to clean reset them. And here is my problem: when my watchdog detects that no data came in the last 5s, it calls close() and then startEngine(). But after that, still no data arrive. Something seems blocked, some ressource still associated or like that. If I restart my JBoss, data arrive again. Can somebody give me a hint?
thank you for your time! Stefan
