Java JDBC connection status

Question

I am (successfully) connecting to a database using the following:

java.sql.Connection connect = DriverManager.getConnection(
  \"jdbc:mysql://localhost/some_         


        

Answer 1

Use Connection.isClosed() function.

The JavaDoc states:

Retrieves whether this Connection object has been closed. A connection is closed if the method close has been called on it or if certain fatal errors have occurred. This method is guaranteed to return true only when it is called after the method Connection.close has been called.
