Re: [jetty-users] Jetty Websocket Client - unable to handle network erro

[Joakim Erdfelt <joakim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Upgrade to Jetty 9.4 (seriously)

I would have expected for the java client, when a connection issue is detected, either the onClose or onError should occur.

But if the connection is truely unused, then there wont be a detected issue on java until a read or write operation is attempted.

Hence your ping/pong step (to trigger a read or write).

Hi,

We have implemented a Jetty OSGI WebSocket Client that talks to a Jetty WebSocket Server. Version of the server and client is 9.2 . We have implemented WebSocketListener at the client side. 

The client after establishing a connection waits for notifications from server - so if there is any connection failure it has to reconnect as soon as possible. When we  have a network error , the onClose or onError methods are not invoked - realized that this is as per specification after checking in this forum and other places.

I then attempted to send periodic heartbeats using session.getRemote().setPing method. Even this method did not throw an exception ( or cause onError to be invoked ) when the network was disconnected. I am now planning to set a timer and then listen for the pong message , and if the pong does not arrive in reasonable time, infer that the connection is broken and re-establish it.

Is this the correct approach ? Also since we are using jetty 9.2 the   WebSocketPingPongListener interface is not there - what is the best way to receive the pong message in the client side  ?

Regards

Venkat
