Socket alive after program exit

The java socket connection remains alive when the the program exits abrubtly. No exception is thrown at the listening socket side. Since timeout is set, InterruptedIOException is thrown at timeout intervals.

Is there a question?That doesn't have anything to do with java. That is how TCP/IP works.The only way to detect all connection failures is to write to the socket - reads will not do it.
