Hello,
I'm building an UDP based integration service. Each 'client' sends a query on UDP socket and waits for the response. A thread receives all responses and dispatch to clients.
My current implementation uses an object that is used as message CorrelationId. When sending a message, the client adds its messageId object into a shared map. After sending it's message, it does an 'messageId.wait()'. The receive thread lookup the map for received id and calls notifyAll() on the associated messageId Object. The client is unlocked and can process response.
I'd like to avoid using a synchronized map, and I've read in commons-collection javadoc about the ReferenceMap. Could it be used for this ? If I've understood how it works, I'm not required to remove my MessageId objects from the map, and they will be removed when garbage collector finalize my MessageId (after the UDP response has been processed).
