Question:
In a pJava application running on Symbian OS, if no Internet connection exists, one is made (or at least a "Connect to Internet" dialog is launched) when a socket is opened. Is it possible to force an Internet connection to be made any other way?

Answer:
There is no pJava API provided which does this directly. The easiest way to force an Internet connection to be made if you don't need to open a socket for immediate use is the following:

try
{
(new java.net.ServerSocket(80)).close();
}
catch (Exception e) {}
