Thats fine, same here :)

The only difference to my setup might be that I have constant traffic on
my ManagerConnection due to SIP and IAX peer, registry, whatever events.
That doesn't seem to be the case with you as there is no activity in log
between 2005-07-16 09:21:33,828 and 2005-07-16 09:31:04,062.
Maybe there is some kind of networking device between you and the
Asterisk server (a firewall?) that kills the connection.
What you can do is to send PingActions to Asterisk to generate this
traffic. I attached an example of such a PingThread that might be useful
for you.
Use it as follows:

  c = new ManagerConnectionFactory().getManagerConnection(...);
  c.login();
  PingThread pingThread = new PingThread(c);
  pingThread.start();
[...]
  pingThread.die();
  c.logoff();

Hmmmmm lets see if the PingThread solves your problem and if not dive
into this issue as well.
