Socket on server side remains “ESTABLISHED” even connected EJB client is not online .

Issue

• One application uses the JBoss EJB-Client to call stateless session beans on a remote JBoss application server . An established TCP Socket can be seen on the remoting port of the Jboss server to each connected client workstation. If client terminates abnormal or if there is any network issue then also the socket on server side remains ESTABLISHED which causes errors like SocketException: too many open files. Is there any work around for closing the socket if connected EJB client is not online .
