Hi Oleg,
Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your help. I have
couple of more questions on this.
I am currently using httpclient 3.0 library.
SimpleConnectionManager.shutdown () method is not available in 3.0 libs. if
I am continuing to use these libraries in my application, can I use
httpClient.getConnectionManager(). closeIdleConnections(1) to close of
connections?.
Would setting small values like 1 millisecond for idle connection timeout be
an overhead to the JVM and impact performance?
Would this act as a replacement for SimpleConnectionManager.shutdown()?
Based on your reply, I assume that you recommend re-using the same
httpClient instance for all http requests, instead of creating httpClient
instances for each http requests, even if we are not using
MultiThreadedConnectionManager. Is it because, that the latter approach has
an overhead of creating/closing more connections and no re-use of
connections and thereby giving less throughput?.
Are you aware of any issues in using HttpClient 3.1 libraries in Websphere
Application Server (WAS) 5.1. ? I have not tried this yet. But if you
already know this, I think, I could save some testing time .
Thanks,
Sujith
