[JDEV] Thread id

Tue, 28 Jan 2003 17:57:56 -0800

I'm trying to understand
1) what is meant by a "Thread ID"
2) what current implementations actually do.

As in:
<message ...>
<thread>some-thread-id</thread>
<body>...</body>
</message>

Judging from my "extremely" scientific sample-size of 1 (trial end error with Exodus ;-)), it seems to me that
- Exodus will "play back" whatever thread ID another client used to initiate a new conversation
- However, as soon as the chat window has been closed once, upon reopening it, it will generate a new thread ID.

I don't know what that means. In particular, because Exodus happily restores the content of the old window in the new window.

I thought maybe a different thread ID would indicate a different subject (could be shown graphically with a horizontal line or whatever), or that the conversation partner has closed their window temporarily, or ... but if thread id is basically unpredictable, I'd rather leave it alone?!?

And I don't know whether this is the "correct" behavior, or just something special about Exodus.

Any clarifications appreciated...
