Error "connection is not established"

Hi,

I have updated my Gurux lib from 1.2 to 1.4 recently and I have some problems.
In the new class GXDLMSSNCommandHandler, in handleRead() method I have noticed a new check in the code that didn't exist in my old Gurux version :
// Return error if connection is not established.
if (!settings.isConnected()
&& (!e.isAction() || e.getTarget().getShortName() != 0xFA00
|| e.getIndex() != 8)) {
replyData.set(GXDLMSServer.generateConfirmedServiceError(
ConfirmedServiceError.INITIATE_ERROR, ServiceError.SERVICE,
Service.UNSUPPORTED.getValue()));
return;
}

I understand that you check if client and server have already made association (AARQ/AARE) before we can read a COSEM object ? It can be a problem in our context we have public objects that can be read without association, so how can we deal with them ?

Thanks.
