Loss of Worklight Server Connection without hearbeat interval

Worklight 6.1.0.1 If I have a worklight server session timeout set to 1 hour, and I don't have a heartbeat interval set. The application starts, and establishes a connection with the WL server.

The WL server is shutdown, and not restarted. If the application does not invoke any back requests to the WL server (ex: connect, adapter, etc) while the server is stopped will the loss of connection be detected, or would I have had to set a heartbeat interval to cause the loss of connection to be detected?

If you did not write applicative code to handle off line scenarios, none is going to do that for you.

Consult with the Working Offline training module.

If you want to detect the loss of server connection please use the following

  • Events that are fired only on change of connectivity state. Success <--> Failure WL.Events.WORKLIGHT_IS_CONNECTED and WORKLIGHT_IS_DISCONNECTED. For more info see this link
  • use onConnectionFailure in initOptions to figure out server connection failure. See this SO answer for more info.
