We have a custom tag that is in every JSP that creates a socket connection to a target
server and
POSTs some data do a page on the target server that writes the data to a database. The
issue we
are having is that we don't want to delay the user's response by doing the socket
connection
synchronously. If we do the socket connection asynchronously we risk having the data
not being
sent when the server is under stress. I have not verified that this is occuring with
the custom
tag yet, but we are seeing it happen using ASP with an HTTP component. I am pretty
sure that the
same condition will occurr. So I would like for the JSP to start a thread to do the
socket
connection, run in the background, and return the response immediately so there is no
delay to the
user. I am thinking that when the response finishes the thread that it started will
also die. Is
that correct?
