ServerSocket not sending exception

Question

I have a multithreaded server with clients connected to it. There is a while loop on the client side constantly reading for inputs from the server and vice versa. Now if I close the client it causes a connection reset exception on the server and I can catch it, however if I close the server, there seems to be no exception throw to the client. Any ideas? Here's some sample code on the client..
String response;
try{
socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 4587);
socketInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
socketOutput = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Connected to localhost on port 5000...");
     String send = "LOGIN"+account+"+"+pwd;
     socketOutput.println(send);
     }catch(Exception e){
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Could not connect to Server, try again", "Server Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
     while (true) { //start while
     try{
     response = socketInput.readLine();
     System.out.println(response);
     }catch(Exception e){
     System.out.println(e); //No exception thrown when server shuts down
     }

Hi.,
Have you closed your sockets or not!.. ..After try catch., using finally loop close your sockets. reply me what happend.
try{   
     while( true ){
        tmp = input.readLine();
        System.out.println(tmp);
        tokens = new java.util.StringTokenizer(tmp, "/"); 
        String a=tokens.nextToken();
        String b=tokens.nextToken();
} catch(Exception e){ System.out.println("Connection Exception "+e); }
finally {
     try{  socket.close();  }
     catch( java.io.IOException e ) { }
}bye
