Two computers are connected by socket connection. If the server/client closes the connection from their end(i.e closes the InputStream, OutputStream and Socket) then how can I inform the other end about the disconnection? There is one way I know of - trying to read from the InputStream, which throws an IOException if connection is closed, but is there any other way to detect this? Another question, I looked the problem up on the internet and saw inputStream.available() does not solve this problem. Why is that?

Additional Information : Я прошу другой путь, потому что мой проект становится трудным для обработки, если мне нужно попытаться прочитать из InputStrem обнаружить отключение.
