15.4.7 CloseConnection Message


   CloseConnection messages are sent only by servers in GIOP protocol versions 1.0 and 1.1. They inform clients that the server intends to close the connection and must not be expected to provide further responses. Moreover, clients know that any requests for which they are awaiting replies will never be processed, and may safely be reissued (on another connection). In GIOP version 1.2 and 1.3 both sides of the connection may send the CloseConnection message.

   The CloseConnection message consists only of the GIOP message header, identifying the message type.

   For details on the usage of CloseConnection messages, see Section 15.5.1, “Connection Management,? on page 15-47.
