Hi Karthi, So does the following code snippet perform what Mike have mentioned... HttpClient client=new HttpClient(); // Which will create a SimpleHttpConnectionManager // by default. So we need not create an explicit

Re: Invoke a httpclient in a EJB

Thanks everyone. The EJB restrictions specified at http://java.sun.com/blueprints/qanda/ejb_tier/restrictions.html state that Enterprise beans should not listen on, accept connections on, or mutlicast from a network socket. Why can an enterprise bean not listen to or accept connection

Re: Invoke a httpclient in a EJB

Hi Karthi, From the wording it sounds like you are not supposed to run a server from an EJB. HttpClient creates sockets but it does not listen to or accept connections, it's a client only. As someone already mentioned it would be pretty useless if you couldn't make network connections from an

Re: Invoke a httpclient in a EJB

Thanks Mike. Now I understand that we can use HttpClient from within EJB as long as we close the connection. Also Httpclient does not create a Server socket. Michael Becke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Karthi, >From the wording it sounds like you are not supposed to run a server from an EJB

Re: Invoke a httpclient in a EJB

EJB + threads + httpclient... yes does break the letter of the spec's, but yep it works and it works just fine. Who ever wrote the spec that said you couldn't open a socket in an EJB really wasn't living in the real world. The only thing to watch is that MultiThreadedConnectionManager does sta

Re: Invoke a httpclient in a EJB

hmmm, EJB + remote DB via jdbc needs sockets? You can use EJB with socket, as long as the operation is quick. In some case http socket operation can hang due to long response delay. -D - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Invoke a httpclient in a EJB

Hi Karthi, Unfortunately I don't have much experience with EJBs, but if the spec says that you can't open sockets, then it will be pretty hard to use HttpClient. Perhaps someone else on this list has some more experience in this matter. Any EJB + HttpClient users out there? Mike On Aug 4, 2004
