Closed what window?

How do you know that closing "the window" broke the connection?

What reads from the other end of the connection?

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#isConnected()
"Returns: true if the socket was successfuly connected to a server"

Your socket was connected, so according to the docs you should get 'true'.

What does 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#isClosed()
tell you?
