[AOLSERVER] New module for AOLServer : share TCL channels across interpreters
Hi all, An email just to let you know that you can get the module nssharechannel I develop at the following address : http://www.core-services.fr/products/nssharechannel/ It's there for a while but the web site was in french. Now as I translated it, I inform all people who can be interested by this module ;-) This module allows you to open a channel (socket or file) and detach it to the current interpreter that it becomes global and can be used with all the scripts. I am using this module in production since one year without any problem so far. I am using it to open a socket to connect AOLServer with my own Java Chat Server. It's like the module from Rob Mayoff doing the same stuff, but without other functions of its module. To finish, just a question : Is there a graphic module (in C ot TCL) for AOLServer to manipulate images (create on the fly, draw, automatic resize, automatic thumbnail creation, etc...), like the one in PHP with GD ? If not I will perhaps try to plug the GD Graphic Library as an AOLServer C module. Thanks for the info . Best regards. Jean-Fabrice RABAUTE Core Services http://www.core-services.fr [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[cut] So I can do ns_thread begindetached, then do socket -server ... (not the ns_socklistencallback) and then transfer it to another thread? :-) For example can I use 10 threads in 'vwait forever' loop and transfer channels across these threads without problems? This is very important to me because my AOLserver sometimes handles over 200 connections and I want to have some threads managing them (but not 200 :-). Does it work on 3.4.2 and Tcl 8.3?

If not I will perhaps try to plug the GD Graphic Library as an AOLServer C module. nsgd. I use it to render PNG server statistics for over 6 months. It is a conversion of the tcl gd library. -- WK Data typing is an illusion. Everything is a sequence of bytes. -Todd Coram
Re: [AOLSERVER] New module for AOLServer : share TCL channels across interpreters
Hi, The TCL functions created by the module (ns_attachchannel, ns_detachchannel) are thread safe. However, If you attach the descriptor in 2 different threads, you'll then have to take care yourself of the synchro. In fact, when attached to the current interpreter, the descriptor becomes part of it and the module is not used anymore. You can then use the descriptor as if you opened it in the script (or thread). So, you have to use mutexes to ensure concurrent read/writes.

What I am doing for my use is to open a socket connection at AOLServer startup, detach it, and then use the socket descriptor in all my tcl page scripts as well as threads created using ns_thread. When detached, the socket still remains, you just have to use the attach function to attach it in another thread or script and that's all. Do we (the users of this module) need to create our own mutex to ensure that no two threads are reading/writing the socket at the same time? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on.
