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? -- Thanks, Guy I would suggest searching the archives of the rmi-users list [1]. Also check the properties that control timeouts [2].
