Summary:	ORB not handling dropped connections correctly

Description Nanbor Wang 1999-08-06 13:39:45 CDT

Let's say we have a server and client running, where the client is making 100
calls to the server.  If the server is shut down after call 50, call 51 will
fail on the client side and the ORB will report it as COMPLETED=MAYBE.  It will
then fail on the rest of the calls also with COMPLETED=MAYBE.  The ORB should
be able to detect the dropped connection and be able to specify COMPLETED=NO.

I'll take care of this one..

Testing on UNIX revealed that things are working as expected, will test on NT
now.

Comment 3 Carlos O'Ryan 1999-08-11 11:10:59 CDT

Just tried on NT, the client gets a TRANSIENT exception (with COMPLETED_NO and a
minor exception that indicates ECONNREFUSED) when the server is down. Notice
that it takes a while for NT to figure out that a local connection is down.
Maybe the problem is not in the ORB but the ImplRepo?
PS: to test this out use the ping/pong test in the Fauls directory. Inserting
code to print the expected exceptions.

Yes, I just checked and this seems like it was fixed since the last time I was
looking into it.
