If the servlet API adds support for java.nio library (described in section 3.3 here) http://www.coredevelopers.net/library/j2ee/servlet24/ar01s03.jsp#d0e533, then will it make sense for servlet container (e.g. Tomcat ) to use the nio the way described in the article?

The example given doesn't really prove anything in my mind. That's what I was thinking too as I read the article. It's not representative of the real world. But I wanted to see if I was alone in my skepticism or not. (And I remember we've discussed NIO multiple times in the past).

If the difference was negligible/none, then IMHO NIO effect is no different than playing with max threads value. However, if there was still a considerable difference for heavy loads, i would be inclined to changing the API to make it compatible w/ both, so that the container could toggle between using IO and NIO based on a config, load, etc. My undeserved 2 cents. :) -- Sincerely, Reshat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you see my certificate with this message, you should be able to send me encrypted e-mail.
