RMI stuck on network disconnection (original) (raw)

Hi,

I found out that an RMI call might never return on network disconnection and will not throw RemoteException as expected. The scenario is very simple:

  1. Find a remote stub (the stub should be behind a router).
  2. Physically disconnect the server from the LAN.
  3. Invoke a method from the client, the client can stuck without an exception up to 30 min.

Any ideas?
