Ultra Light Client Guide and Reference

What happens when a connection fails?

The behaviour of the ULC application when a connection fails depends on whether the application is in client or server mode.

Server mode
The application just terminates since currently there is no mechanism in place to identify the remote user when the connection is restored and to associate it with a previously running instance of the application.

Client mode
In client mode the behaviour is as follows:

Java
In Smalltalk the value of ULCSystem.connectionRetries controls the application reconnect behavior. If connectionRetries=0 then the application terminates immediately. If connectionRetries=-1 then the connection will be retried forever. If connectionRetries>0 then the connection will be retried the specified number of times.
