Disconnect on Long polling amf channels

Hi,

We have been using AIR for 2 years and are very fond of the technology. Appreciate the efforts Adobe team is taking.

We have an AIR application that uses AMF long polling for recieving updates from the server and AMF channel for request-response model. This application talks to Tomcat server which has blazeds + Java services.

We are testing some of the recovery scenarios such as network disconnect, Server shutdown,  Kill server processes.

One the most concerning issue at this point is when  the network connection on the server disconnects

1. Client does not detect it is not connected to the server.

2. AMFPolling request does not time out

3. There is no channel fault or channel disconnect recieved by the client

4. Sometimes if the client is reauthenticated back,  channels are connected again amf channel works as expected but

AMF long polling stops working.

The flex SDK version is 4.1 and AIR SDK is 2.0. Blazeds 4 and tomcat 6

Please advice how to resolve this issue , we are stuck and so is our release. I have mentioned configuration and channel intialization code snippet -
