Hello
I would like to know the best way to broadcast a message for many
clients. Should I use a executor from a thread pool and dispatch the
message to each context.getResponse in a different thread like this:
for (final AsyncContext ctx : clients) {
executors.execute(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
PrintWriter writer =
ctx.getResponse().getWriter();
writer
.println(message);
writer.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
Or the best way would be to send the message to each ctx.getResponse()
inside the same thread (putting the foreach inside the Runnable)? The
question is: is ctx.getResponse().print really fast that it only puts
the String inside the buffer that will be dispatched later (in an
async fashion) to the client?
Even more, is ctx.getResponse().getWriter().print() a thread safe
call? If there are two broadcasts, what happens if we have a
concurrent call to the writer.print()? can the buffer loose data or
both calls will succeed without guaranting the order.
thanks
