[omniORB] Connection timeout

[Daniel Pirkl]

Hallo everybody,

I have a problem. I have an interface

interface Device
{
	void DoSomethingOneSecond(void);
	void DoSomethingTenMinutes(void);
	.......
};

The called object is located on another computer in the network. If the 
called object is not available - for examle somebody cut the line during 
call of some method, I need to know it after a short timeout (e.g. 10 
seconds). I can't use clientCallTimeOutPeriod because of 
DoSomethingTenMinutes method. 

My tryed to add thread per tcpConnection object. This thread sends icmp 
packets to destination computer, listens answers and in case of timeout 
calls tcpConnection::Shutdown. It's seems working. But I would like to 
know, if there is some standart way of resolving this problem.

Thanks

Daniel
