I am having a few issues with sockets within my Java SIP client. When I bind to an address and port, if something goes wrong I have to attempt to reconnect, usually after I’ve stopped and restarted the process. Problem with that is then the port is bound and I am forced to increment the local port.
How can I remove the binding to the port I am targeting before binding to it?
If that isnt possible, then how can I trap the process just before it ends so that I can locate the socket binding and close it manually?
@Jason – Jason, but in this case I am writing the Client and have no access to the server, the port I am referring to is on the client and is local. Is there a way to flush the port binding before attempting to connect? If not is there a way to trap the process interrupt, as in perl there is a way to trap a ‘die’ signal and do some post processing, does Java have this? If so I could call close() on the socket connection
Ok – I found a way to trap Java signals by reading this tutorial online – http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/i-signalhandling/
This way one can trap the die signal and close the connection.
