    <p>If you are asking whether or not it is possible to detect, before you call read on a network socket, how many bytes are available to be read, the short answer is no. You can only detect whether or not there are <em>any</em> bytes available to be read but not the number of bytes. The client may also have bytes written to its kernel but blocked by the server's full buffers so the server itself may not know how many bytes are ready to be read. Also, from the client side, there is no way to find out how much data has been written by the client but not consumed by the server.</p> <p>The data is buffered both on the client side and the server side but there is no way in Java to be able to see how many bytes are in those buffers. You might be able to get it with some very specific kernel calls in C but it would be very non portable.</p> <ul> <li>One thing to consider is to use <code>Socket.setKeepAlive(true)</code> which will use the TCP mechanisms to keep the socket alive. I'm not sure how reliable that is from the server side but it should then get a -1 from the read when the socket times out after the client goes away.</li> <li>Another is to make a separate TCP connection for each ping. If that is too expensive then you can reconnect after a certain number of ping tries.</li> <li>A third thing to consider is to send UDP packets from the client which won't be buffered and are a lot less expensive. You should send more often since there is no retry as well.</li> <li>The server could also send back some sort of response so the client knows that the client knows the socket is still good. It can reconnect if it doesn't get the response.</li> </ul>

    1. COI want to know how many bytes are in the queue to send out. No incomming messages or packages. Sorry for my confusing question.

    2. COI've edited my answer. After you write data I don't know of any way to see if has or hasn't been read by the server.

    3. COI see. But I think that the outgoing data must be buffered anywhere. The network itself won't resend the TCP package. If I remember right the program or the operating systen will try to resend the TCP package until it get a ACK TCP package. There is now no problem with the buffer but I would like to stop to send the "ping" messages if the elder "ping-packages" never got send out. I could imagine that there could happen an overflow or something like that if I try to send out million of messages.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
