I use jetty in a restlet service, where each request has to perform rather complicated calculations and need lots of CPU time, (~100ms to respond). Each resource itself is multithreaded (using jsr166y and ForkJoin).
I did set the maxThreads and acceptQeueuesize to very low values (<10), trying to keep the response times around 100ms even under high load. This works out OK, but I am having a problem: When the queue is full and the server is busy calculating replies, it /should/ immediatly respond with a 503 status when evem more requests arrive. Unfortunately, the requests are not denied but just time out. I assume I would have to use Jetty's throttlingFilter ( http://www.mortbay.org/jetty/jetty-6/apidocs/index.html?index-all.html ) - but I don't know how to do so within restlet. Any jetty experts around? Thanks, Henry. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=1074847
