Well, Java servers probably are yes, but traditional Unix servers would normally fork a new process for each incoming connection. There are various ways of doing it. A separate process per client connection; a separate thread per client connection; a single process/thread handling multiple clients with select()/poll()/etc. and combinations or variations on these. e.g. starting a pool of processes to avoid the startup time of a new process when a new client connects. -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
