Framework for Java RPC server

I'm planning on writing an RPC server in Java. The server needs to accept incoming RPCs - probably over HTTP - and answer them. Fairly basic stuff.

can client side Javascript detect when server has closed http connection while client is working?

In my application, the client is a Javascript set of functions in the browser, and it does some work - for example, playing a clip. It uses XmlHttpRequest to talk to the server.

I've written a client/server model in C# using .Net remoting. If I have the client connected to the server, then kill the server and restart it without trying to call any server methods from the client whilst the server is down, I can reconnect happily.
