Java MS SQL -> mySQL conversion

I have built a Java application that transfers data from a MSSQL db to a mySQL DB. The problem I have is that the MSSQL db constantly goes down and causes 开发者_JAVA技巧my application to throw exceptions because it can not connect to the server. Is there a way that I can tell my application to restart if it gets any error? I am running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

You can't restart it, but depending on the application, you can simulate a restart.

If it is a console application, you can simply call the main(..) method again.

If it is a desktop application, you can hide the current JFrame and setVisible(true) a new JFrame
