Re: Looking for performance-oneway asynch call

Kubernan (is this a first name or a last name?),

Design snippet:
mainController
   that runs in loop and receives client request
   
   For each new request, check it and if the request
   is in error, returns the error (synchronous).
   
   If the request is available, create a new instance
   of my own object and call a method in this instance.
   
       In the new instance : create a new thread that do the stuff
       for the client request. In the thread, informations of the work
       are sent to the client using -(oneway void).

Is the main thread of the server waiting for the new thread that
services the client request to finish, or is it possible for the server
to spawn a thread to solve a client request and *while that spawned
thread is running* to get the next client request and spawn another
thread to service it, and so on? It's hard to tell from your design
sketch, but if the server main thread waits on the new request-serving
thread, this would be a problem.

Cheers,
