Hi, I have a servlet which processes a request for a long time. It suppose to keep doing stuff in the loop inside doPost and send data through response's out writer. Effectively that continuously appends data in the clients browser . But the problems accures when client just closes the browser. Inspite of the broken connection the response's writer stream in the servlet never gets closed, thus servlet is unaware of the brocen connection, and keep dumping data into the writer without any errors. How is that posssible? And how do I detect and cancel long request processing in case of browser disconnect?
This is the servlet code which never stops: protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { HttpSession session = request.getSession(); System.out.println("Session " + session.getId() + " started"); response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8"); PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); try { while (!out.checkError()) { try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } Date date = new Date(); // TODO append output to the client browser here out.println("....."); System.out.println("Session " + session.getId() + " data sent at: " + date); out.flush(); //break; // _TEST } } finally { System.out.println("Session " + session.getId() + " finished"); out.close(); } } Thanks, Mike -- Best regards, Mikhail Gerdov mailto:ger...@gmail.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java EE (J2EE) Programming with Passion!" group.
