I have an RMI-based server and a number of PCs. PCs run a wrapper encapsulated service. This service registers with the = RMI server and then sends heartbeat messages at regular intervals at the = server. This is how the server knows that a PC is still alive. If the server dies (e.g. the server machine reboots) the heartbeat = message at the PC will cause an Exception and the java PC program will = stop. It was my understanding that in such cases the wrapper will figure out = that there is something wrong with the service and it will restart it = after a while. This is not happening. If the server hangs for any reason the PCs = someone has to start the service manually to register the PCs again. The PCs run Win XP Pro. (1) Is my understanding correct? Is there recovery of failed services in = wrapper? (2) If it is do you have any ideas why this isn't working? Thanks -George |
