Good Morning,

If an instance receives a request via a direct action and I don't want it to be redirected via the load balancer, enough information is broadcast such that other instances waiting for requests will be able to tell that another instance should already be processing it,
'Should' is a strong word here. I don't think that I'd be relying on it. Perhaps I'm pessimistic?

Or, perhaps, there was more information that was not provided as it was not relevant to the problem at hand (x-webobjects-request-id values not as unique as expected) and yet which my MD might deem confidential intellectual property. This approach is adequately sound for me.


and then generate a response (without blocking on database i/o) to the effect that database congestion may be in progress, that their request is being processed, any database updates may or may not be committed but will be committed at most once.
Given that you've put rather bluntly that long request configuration won't work for you,

Bluntly? Well yes I suppose, but .... you should have seen the drafts I discarded!


I'm not sure how you expect to achieve this across multiple instances without building the infrastructure yourself.

Which is what I did ... multicast datagram socket.

What I am doing is reporting a bug in the WebObjects API adaptor, with the circumstances as how how I encountered it. It might be possible to deduce, for example, that the application list etc (see config.c in the Adaptors project) is in shared memory, while uniqueID_counter (see transaction.c) is not in shared memory, but should be, if we cared.
Anybody reading this list who is interested in the adaptor?

Patches welcome!

Cough.  Yes.  I dare say they are.
