My swing 1.3 applet hangs when it loses the connection to our database server and cannot be reset to run another query with a more limited search criteria. Our server drops the connection after 5 minutes. Some database query calls take longer and will need to be restricted.



Once the connection is lost after 5 minutes, how can I get the applet to stop hanging so that I can run a more limited query. I use URLConnection objects. Thanks for your help
