Hi list! I've had some issues with requests not being carried out in parallel by Tomcat. My problem is that I haven't been able to figure out when a worker thread blocks and when it does not.
To try and pin down the behavior, I did a little experiment. I took a servlet that I had, that handles to separate URLs; let's call them "/a" and "/b". To try out the parallelism, I added a little delay in the servlet code by calling Thread.sleep(10000). I then tried them out in two browser tabs, and I find the results much enigmatic. When I try to access "/a" in one tab and "/b" in another, they both load in 10 seconds each -- that is, if I start the request for "/a" at 12:00:10 and the request for "/b" at 12:00:15, the request for "/a" will finish at 12:00:20, and the request for "/b" will finish at 12:00:25. As one would expect. However, when I request "/a" in both tabs, the requests seem to be carried out in sequence -- that is, if I again start the request in tab 1 for "/a" at 12:00:10 and the request for in tab 2 for, also for "/a", at 12:00:15, the request for tab 1 will finish at 12:00:20, and the request for tab 2 will finish at 12:00:30. Why is this? Is Tomcat explicitly not handling two requests for the exact same URL in parallel? It is the only explanation I can think of, but I cannot figure out how or why it would make sense. If it is indeed the case, can I somehow tell Tomcat to not do that? Thanks for your attention!
