[Spread-users] SpreadException: spread.SpreadException: Connection closed while reading header

[Michael Di Stefano]

Renee

Thank you for help, your and Andrew Gilmartin's responses pointed me to 
where the exception is being thrown and not caught.   I download the 
source for 4.1 and see in the java client code

    SpreadConnection.java file Class Listener - run() method line 1637  

SpreadConnection:internalreceive() is being called but SpreadException 
is not caught.


My application layer wraps spread such that it manages load balancing 
among the spread server cluster.   The desired behavior is that if a 
server connection is lost then attempt a reconnect to another server in 
the cluster.   Given the above, I see no way to get control back to my 
code to manage reconnects.   I guess my only option is to simply exit().

This brings me to my next "feature".  When I detect a closed connection 
on a send, I can not reconnect to any server, the message is that I am 
already connected.  This sounds like boolean variable check you describe 
below.

If you can please send me that code I would appreciate it.

Regards

Michael
