What should be the servlet behavior when clients close the connection after invoking a servlet? I ask this question more from the perspective of the "right way to handle it" as opposed to the Servlet specification.
Let's say a client has invoked a servlet that opens a DB transaction and then hits the stop button on the browser. This causes the connection to end. The user intent here is to prevent the transaction from happening - but the servlet of course does not know this and commits the transaction and will realize that the connection is broken when it's time to respond. How is this problem typically handled? Should I continuously check to see if the connection is alive? Please comment.
