Don,

Yes, I was playing with that yesterday.  Biggest problem I see currently 
is that it is not possible to set the SocketProperties with the JDBC 
driver.  I reported it on the JTOpen forum.  I think the only way it could 
be done via JDBC is if they added some new JDBC properties.

http://www-912.ibm.com/j_dir/JTOpen.nsf/2bd4742db2e03c7b862568230070dbd3/97819fa9c41abaad86256f0e00530a79?OpenDocument

My only other concern was that since I have no idea how to recreate the 
problem I do not have any way to know if setting these properties will 
make a difference.  Basically, the same problem you have. 

The more I have thought about, I wonder if this problem would only happen 
for people that have a proxy server.  That is the only TCP/IP technology I 
can think of where a 3rd party would be involved in the socket connection 
and could close it.  Normally, proxy servers have some configuration that 
allow you to specify systems or IP addresses to bypass with the proxy 
(assuming it is all on the same network).

So to Gregg or anyone else with these problems, can you help?  Do you have 
a proxy server on your network, or something else that could be involved 
in the TCP/IP connection.  Neither OS/400 nor JT400 have any settings that 
would cause it to close the connection after a period of inactivity. 
Something else must be involved at the network level.

Thanks

Mark
