Hello, unfortunately, you left out the part where the HttpClient instance is created. Did you remember to install a MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager? If the same client object is passed to several of the SaveAttachmentThread instances, you need the thread-safe connection manager.
But the main problem should be that you do not call getMethod.releaseConnection() after reading the response body. This should best be done in a finally clause, since it is necessary no matter whether there is a problem or not. With your implementation and the SimpleHttpConnectionManager which is used by default, a single download should succeed. All other downloads then wait for the connection that is never released by the first one. cheers, Roland "Koundinya \(Sudhakar Chavali\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06.09.2004 14:25 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc Subject URLGetMethod.executeMethod is hanging under multi threaded environment Subject: URLGetMethod.executeMethod is hanging under multi threaded environment Hello Guys, Please see the folloiwng code. I am trying to download the mails of MS Exchange Server using URLGetMethod.executeMethod. But when execution pointer comes to the thread area (URLGetMethod.executemethod), URLGetMethod.executemethod is not coming out of it's loop. Could you please explain what is the problem with this code?? class SaveAttachmentThread extends Thread implements Runnable { static int threadCount = 0; String uri = ""; String strAttachmentName = ""; private org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient client = null; org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.UrlGetMethod attachmentMethod = null; public SaveAttachmentThread(String uri, String strAttachmentName, org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient client) { this.uri = uri; this.strAttachmentName = strAttachmentName; this.client = client; } public SaveAttachmentThread(org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods. UrlGetMethod _getMethod, String attachment) { attachmentMethod = _getMethod; this.strAttachmentName = attachment; } public void run() { //strAttachmentName = URLDecoder.decode(strAttachmentName); System.err.println("Saved to " + strAttachmentName); System.err.println("URL :" + uri); try { System.err.println("Saving the URL :" + strAttachmentName); org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.UrlGetMethod getMethod = new org. apache.commons.httpclient.methods.UrlGetMethod(uri); int status = client.executeMethod(getMethod); byte attachmentBytes[] = getMethod.getResponseBody(); FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(strAttachmentName); fout.write(attachmentBytes); fout.close(); fout = null; threadCount++; System.err.println(threadCount); } catch (Throwable e) { System.err.println("Error raised while saving the URI : " + strAttachmentName); e.printStackTrace(); } } } thanks Sudhakar P.S: The Client Instance creating is some thing like this try { org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpURL url = (org.apache.commons. httpclient.HttpURL) getURL(path + "/" + user); org.prithvi.docparser.microsoft.msexchange.apache.OwaWebdavResource webDavResourceFile = getWebResource( url); //get the client session client = webDavResourceFile.retrieveSessionInstance(); } catch (Throwable ex) { //set the client session instance to null; client = null; } I mean for creating client instance I am using WebDaveResource.retrieveSessionInstance() ===== "No one can earn a million dollars honestly."- William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925) "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."- Albert Einstein (1879-1955) "It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid."- George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
