automatically reconnecting to LDAP-server using MBean Extern

[axismundi]

We get an exception after not using the JNDI-connection for a few minutes:

javax.naming.CommunicationException: connection closed [Root exception is java.io.IOException: connection closed];

How can I instruct the MBean to reconnect automatically?

 <mbean code="org.jboss.naming.ExternalContext"
 name="jboss.jndi:service=ExternalContext,jndiName=external/ldap/swm">
 <attribute name="JndiName">external/ldap/swm</attribute>
 <attribute name="Properties">
 java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory
 java.naming.provider.url=ldap://svmetaprod01:389/o=SWM
 java.naming.security.principal=cn=ReadOnlyAdmin,o=swm
 java.naming.security.authentication=simple
 java.naming.security.credentials=Ca024334
 com.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.timeout=5000
 </attribute>
 <attribute name="InitialContext">javax.naming.ldap.InitialLdapContext</attribute>
 <attribute name="RemoteAccess">false</attribute>
 </mbean>

I am having the EXACT same issue. Does anyone know the fix for this?

Thanks, Graeme.

I found a solution. I was querying using the LdapContext class. Querying with the DirContext class causes the disconnect not to happen. Strange.
