[HAPI-devel] Listener on Client Connection?

[Rick R. <ri...@ne...>]

On a client connection, which should never get closed i.e.
       try {
           connection = context.newClient( host, port, useTls );
       } catch( HL7Exception ex ) {
           logger.error( ex );
       }
       return connection;


I have the need to detect if the server closes the connection.
I can see that ca.uhn.hl7v2.app.Receiver, detects this event and logs it:
18:06:00,060 INFO  [ca.uhn.hl7v2.app.Receiver] (hapi-worker-31)
SocketException: closing Connection from 172.20.1.129:6661, will no longer
read messages with this Receiver: socket closed

Is there a way that my application can also detect this event and trigger an
alert on it?

I see how to do this from the server side:
       hl7Service.registerApplication( "*", "*", msgHandler );

But do not see how a client connection can detect if the connection is lost.


Thanks in advance,
