Hi Mike, deprecate "getConnectionsInUse()", replace with "getConnectionsInPool()" ?
Introduce something like "garbageCollectConnections()" or "deleteIdleConnections()" for people who really want to throw away the closed connections ? I'd stick with your option 1 until there is a case where the other behavior is actually needed. cheers, Roland Michael Becke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01.06.2004 03:14 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To: "Commons HttpClient Project" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Re: Connection Accounting Problem Hi Satya, Sorry for the slow response... The number of connections in use does not get decremented in this case as no connections are actually being destroyed. The connection manager still holds references to the same number of connections after closeIdleConnections() is called. connectionsInUse is meant to detail the number of connections that have been allocated, not the number that are open. Given these semantics the behavior is correct I believe. The next question is if this makes sense. I see two possibilities here: 1) Document getConnectionsInUse() to better describe the current behavior. 2) Change closeIdleConnections() to delete closed connections. This will require changes to the IdleConnectionHandler, so that we know which connections are closed. Any suggestions or preferences?
