Can anyone confirm successful use of connectionBacklog for the smtp service on james 3.0 beta4 (or any v3). Successful use of connectionBacklog for any of the other services e.g. imap, lmtp and pop3 is also of interest as under the covers the code is all common.

Firstly I gather the connectionBacklog setting is controlling the backlog just as is done in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/ServerSocket.html

Secondly comparing the code
- http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/protocols/trunk/netty/src/main/java/org/apache/james/protocols/netty/AbstractAsyncServer.java - http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/protocols/tags/protocols-1.6.2/netty/src/main/java/org/apache/james/protocols/netty/AbstractAsyncServer.java

reports no differences so apart from the different versions of netty between beta4 and where beta5 development is there should be no difference with the backlog between beta4 and the current development stream.


Changing the connectionBacklog value does cause the startup log entry (SMTP Service connection backlog is: XXX) to change accordingly, however...

SETUP
-----

connectionBacklog = 1
connectionLimit = 1

TESTING
-------

With two command lines, use telnet to connect to the smtp service, the first telnet instance will establish a connection.

The second instance reports back immediately that a connection can not be established, whereas I would expect the second instance to hang and either establish a connection when the first telnet instance disconnects or a timeout occurs.


Testing thus far has not been in a controlled environment so the backlog issue may well not be with james, but before I go much further I wanted to see what anyone else out there is seeing.

Thanks
Phillip
