Title: Handling errors when opening a channel

I’d appreciate some advice on how to handle errors when opening a channel. I’m calling IPeer.openChannel but in this case the peer has shutdown and is no longer available.

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I’ve installed a ChannelOpenListener but that only tells you when it has been opened, not when something goes wrong. I’m looking for the best place to detect this. It looks like the channel gets terminated but I’m not sure how to listen for that.

Thanks - Ken
