		 connection.setKeepAlive(true);
		 connection.setSoLinger(true,10);
		 System.out.println("SocketConnected");
		 //Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream( ), "8859_1");
			String str = "Ramesh";
         while(connection.isConnected())
		 {
			System.out.println("--- isConnected ---> " + connection.isConnected());
			DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream());

  ^^^^^^^^^^^

Not sure if I read your e-mail correctly, but 'out.close()' will close
the socket's OutputStream which closes the socket.
