- - ### Method Detail

    - #### isConnected

          public boolean isConnected()

      This only tracks websocket connection. It does NOT track the channel connection. If the channel (really the application host) is not connected, then there is effectively no receiver to process any messages sent over the websocket, unless the target is the service.
      Returns:
        true, if connected. false, otherwise.
