Hi All,
I need to make a very simple get request from a remote web server each time a
user first comes into the site.
I wanted to just use the core HttpURLConnection class. It will be thread
safe because the object will be used and created in method scope. In the Sun
javadoc it says that underneath the covers, the Connection can be shared. So
the question is, is this an expensive operation or am I ok to just create a
new HttpURLConnection each time a user first enters the site? I noticed that
Apache Commons have a version of an HttpClient, in which they explicitly
mention pooling connections in a multi-threaded environment. Can I just use
the standard HttpURLConnection or will I quickly run out of
resources/connections? Should I be using something along the lines of the
Commons Client
Thanks alot
