Why not use a stateless session bean, which has the handle
to the Socket in a member variable. This way you can control
the number of SSB's. Make sure to initialize the connection, then
use the SSB by invoking a single method call... ie ssb.sendRequest(), that
gives a response back. (Opposed to ssb.sendRequest() and ssb.getResponse())...
re: "The problem is the single nominated port and the fact that threads are
handled within the J2EE container."
Usually requests on the port will be forked out by the Server as soon
as the OPEN request comes in. This way you won't have to worry
about bottlenecking on the port... As far as the threads within the J2ee
container go... this is why you'd use the SSB, it will even "queue"
requests if all SSB are currently in use.
