Has anyone embedded xmlrpc in a container that provides non-blocking

pool of xmlrpc request handler threads. The single thread per network
connection model doesn't scale to that size, so I'm forced to look
for a
non-blocking solution. I'm having a hard time identifying containers
that would provide that kind of functionality. Any suggestions
would be
greatly appreciated.
A new version of Jetty has been released which may be of interest to
you. See http://www.mortbay.com/MB/log/gregw/?
permalink=Jetty6Continuations.html.
A simpler approach is to create the ServerSocket with a very large
backlog value (I don't know what the maximum backlog size would be on
your system - it may well be configurable).
If you want a single process to be able to have 7,000 TCP/IP
connections open at once then you may well need to change to OS
defaults.
If you give us a little more information we may be able ot offer some
more suggestions.
