# isClosed Method (SQLServerConnection)
[!INCLUDE[Driver_JDBC_Download](../../../includes/driver_jdbc_download.md)]

  Indicates whether this [SQLServerConnection](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverconnection-class.md) object has been closed.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
public boolean isClosed()  
```  
  
## Return Value  
 **true** if the connection is close, **false** if it is not.  
  
## Exceptions  
 [SQLServerException](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverexception-class.md)  
  
## Remarks  
 This isClosed method is specified by the isClosed method in the java.sql.Connection interface.  
  
 Verifies the state of the called SQLServerConnection object. A connection is closed if the [close](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/close-method-sqlserverconnection.md) method has been called on it, or if certain fatal errors have occurred. This method will return **true** only when it is called after the close method has been called.
