Hi Mark,
After a connection has been idle for a certain amount of time Interbase
disconnects without InterClient being notified. This causes an exception
the next time any kind of remote operation is performed, and makes the
Connection worthless ( for obvious reasons ). I think would should
implement a 'reconnect' parameter in the Connections parameters to specify
whether or not we want it to automatically reconnect if a dead connection is
detected. This is already being done in MySQL's JDBC driver. Since JDBC
doesn't have a detection method to check the validity of the connection,
this is the only option I see as pheasible.
