Hi, I'm a SW engineer from ECUTEL. I'm switching from my cgi/fast-cgi code to Java Servlet. And I try to reuse part my c code for cgi/fast-cgi by JNI. I've tested my code with tomcat(version 3.2.1) + apache(version 1.3.19) and iPlanet Web Server(version 4.1 both Fasttrack and Enterprise) on Windows NT. However, I found that the POST requests(send by client every 400ms continuously) are executed in bunch, and the delay between bunches are large(1s - 40s); while within one bunch, the delay between POST requests are small(10 - 200 ms), which is the regular delay with my cgi/fast-cgi code. I'm wondering whether the large delay is caused by process/thread scheduling, or settings problem, or my code(almost same as cgi code except for change of interface for JNI). From tomcat document, it says that it doesn't support multi-processed Servlet on Windows NT and doesn't recommand using thread pool for no extensive tests for it yet. However, in my application, the POST traffic is heavy, at least one POST every 400ms from one client, and for each POST, I need connect to a Server by TCP, send request and get back reply, the process takes about < 200ms with cgi. Ok, I think above is enough information about my problem. Thanks in advance for your kind help! Sincerely, Xuemei Zhang
