Hi All,

I am designing a Client Server Chat application in Java which uses TCP connection between them. I am not able to figure out how to detect at server side when a client forcefully closes down. I need this as i am maintaining a list of online clients and i need to remove user from the list when he forcefully closes the connection.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Tara Singh
