[jcifs] Disconnect from a share

[Mathias Dietz]

there is no way to make a clean disconnect from a share after doing some
stuff .

E.g.
System.out.println("CONNECT TO: smb://" + ip + "/smb_control/");
SmbFile smb =new SmbFile("smb://;:@" + ip+ "/smb_control/");
String[] sm = smb.list();
System.out.println("Finished !");
//here close the SMBSession , Transport

The only way to disconnect, seems to be the socket timeout (
jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout) but
this generates ugly error messages on the server :
Aug 11 15:30:17 back1 smbd[30618]:   write_socket: Error writing 43 bytes
to socket 26: ERRNO = Broken pipe

I would prefer a disconnect() method in SmbFile which does something like:
   /**
   * Disconnect from server.
   * WARNING! Closes the SMBTransport and all active SMBSession's.
   * Should only be called if no other SMBSession is alive or required.
   *  @param boolean hard ,  If false close only if no active request is
   outstanding.
   */
   public void disconnect(boolean hard){
      tree.session.transport.disconnect(hard);
   }

or a transport_idle_timeout , which makes a clean disconnect before closing
the socket.

@Michael: Would you kindly implement such a function , or do you accept a
patch ?



mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards
