Hi,
How about not arguing about everything ? It is your fault when
parameters are not processed. Tomcat will process parameters with
comet.

No, Comet will not process parameters in POST requests if you call getParameter() in the BEGIN event and the request body has not yet arrived. getParameter() will return null even if the parameter is set in the request body. How is this my fault? How do I know when to call getParameter()? How exactly am I supposed to process the POST parameters in a Comet request?


I have no problem to get POST parameter with NIO Connector at my begin.event. With APR connector I also have POST parameter problems. Strange! A my first request I get the POST parameter. The POST message close the event and I got an exception after the end event.

As I use the NIO connector I have no problems...

You need the IO event to free up more than just the memory. The file
descriptor also needs to be freed; this was causing problems for me earlier.

Then set a shorter timeout, allow an appropriate amount of file
descriptors, or produce an IO event. It is possible that a notify
method (or something like that) could be added on the event to make it
a bit more straightforward.

The first two are workarounds which start failing quite quickly when there is a high number of requests. As for the last option, how do "produce and IO event" on the input stream on the server side? It's the client that produces IO events on the input stream, and I have no control over the client.

By the way, in RFC 2616 it says: HTTP/1.1 defines the "close" connection option for the sender to signal that the connection will be closed after completion of the response.
It seems a good option that connection really close with the header "Connection: close" is set. For normal Htttp11Processor it is easy, but NIO and APR processor are more complex. Currently set a short timeout is the only option, but most programmes want to set Connection:close.

So as far as I can tell it's not even required for the client to close the input stream after reading Content-Length bytes. It could very well wait for the server to close the request, which means that Comet receives no IO event and we end up having to wait for a TIMEOUT event.

So please tell me how to "produce an IO event".

Currently we have no IO Event, but Remy has wrote a proposal to dev list :-)

I thing we need this feature.  +1

The way to sync is according to what your application does. The chat
mini example has a very simple sync structure. The sync depends on
what the application is doing. The only official stance is that none
of the structures that the Servlet API provides are synced.

I don't see how this is enough information. Obviously I need to synchronize access to the output stream of the repsonse object. But internally, Tomcat uses this object too. For example, it closes the output stream in the event.close() method. Without me knowing when and how Tomcat uses this object, how am I supposed to know how to do the synchronization?

For example, there is no explanation in the chat example why there is a synchronized (connections) block in the READ event. It looks like it's in there to syncrhonize access to the list, which could possibly be avoided with a CopyOnWriteArrayList. However, using a concurrent list and using synchronization on the output stream would break the chat program (because event.close() seems to internally access the output stream).

Yes, the event coordination with read is complicated.
