Slightly off-topic, there was a bug filed against the session manager where a "session use" counter was being used in a non-threadsafe way (and /really/ needed to be synchronized). The objection to synchronization was based solely on performance (and a stubborn TC dev). It occurs to be that TC could benefit from having a somewhat more "layerable" configuration for these sorts of things. For instance, if TC components could be decorated at any point in their initialization, one would easily write a synchronized wrapper for the Request object and wrap every request in that (via some configuration facility). In that case, the OP could wrap their own request objects to actually prevent their bug in production while researching it in dev/test, instead of having to do little hacks like modifying processor affinities and other things like that which only minimize the problem instead of actually eliminating it. Do you think any of the TC devs would be into anything like that? I realize that a change like that would probably represent a drastic re-factoring process, but it might be worth it for a number of components. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFgCE09CaO5/Lv0PARAnnXAJ90ttXElvNyhRVw2CkNRbDsc5q5nQCgr50g U0hwJEKKmhh1UeCSeSzYiGo= =qzbh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
