Hi,
   I have a CometProcessor servlet that receives events and queues them for
 processing by separate thread pool (a.k.a. asynchronous processor). I do
 that because I could get 1000s of concurrent requests for job that includes
 IO wait and I don¹t want to have 1000s of threads lying around waiting for
 IO. My IO signals me when the response is ready, so I pull the respective
 CometEvent instance, write to the reply and gracefully close the message.
   I¹ve read number of documents and posts on this mail list and I think I
am doing the things correctly, however 1 out of 500 messages gives me
problem.
   The problem is that the client immediately gets HTTP 200 reply with empty
 body from the server without my application having a chance to write to the
 outputStream. This happens both using the NIO and the regular (with ARP)
 connectors. Both using persistent and non-persistent connections. When
 looking at tcp dump I see that the response is given practically
 immediately. Setting the event timeout to 1 sec does not help.
   I can see also that the client is behaving well, because when I use
 persistent connection, the conversation goes on after the faulty message
and the next messages are OK.
 
   I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong with handling the cometevent,
 but not sure where to start. For one thing I am confused where and when
 should the event.close() invocation be ­ I've seen on this mailing list
both the advice to put it in the end event handling and right after I finish
 writing to the stream.
 
 Thanks
 Georgi
