Java JDBC connection status

UPDATE

Oh, I just saw there is a new method available since 1.6:

java.sql.Connection.isValid(int timeoutSeconds):

Returns true if the connection has not been closed and is still valid.
The driver shall submit a query on the connection or use some other
mechanism that positively verifies the connection is still valid when
this method is called. The query submitted by the driver to validate
the connection shall be executed in the context of the current
transaction.


ORIGINAL ANSWER

Your best chance is to just perform a simple query against one table, e.g.:

select 1 from SOME_TABLE;
