Not quite. The idea behind domains is that you stuff handles (sockets, timers, etc.) that are somehow related into a domain. On error (socket timeout, network outage, whatever), you kill off the domain. Node magically cleans up for you and your application keeps on trucking. It's uncaughtException done right. The feasibility of domains is still under discussion - there are a lot of edge cases - but that's the general idea. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
