As Matthew mentioned in this thread, the best way to do this is to implement a session based client: your client creates a session with the server and refresh the session from a thread periodically.

If the client call to refresh the server session fails, it's a good indication that the connection with the server might have been lost.

Please checkout the session demo in the demo/Ice/session directory of the Ice 2.1.1 distribution. It demonstrates how to implement this session manager scheme.

Hope this helps,

Benoit.
