Interesting! C client socket communicating with java server sockets after..

Hi,

I have a client(in C) open a socket and server(in java; jvm 1.2) listening on the same port(e.g. 4444) accepts the request and establishes a socket conn. Now the sockets are kept open indefinitely. If I kill the server process and bring it backup, the client(in C) cannot communicate with the server(in java).

Why would this be happening? Aren't the server socket garbage collected?

How do I make sure that the next time I bring up the server again, the client communicates with it.

Any inputs is really appreciated.

thanks

atul.
