Hi Marcel, I spent alot of time thinking about this fail safe stuff. I'm not an experienced java programmer by any means so how would I go about writing a wrapper class that will do the reconnect? I mean, what are the steps involved in doing this?
What I was trying to do previously is when the exception is thrown (because the connection went down), I called a method which would go and try to do a connect. Then I would check isConnected to see if true and if not wait a while and try again. Am I on the right track here? --- Marcel Ruff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > chris lau wrote: > > >I used the code from the applet examples as a reference to adding code in my > >applet to connect > to > >xmlblaster.
