AW: [Seaside] Re: Concurrent requests from multiple sessions

[Nowak, Helge]

Hmm,

I am sure Ondrej understood what was proposed. He mentioned at least twice that the DB connections are NOT the problem. He said that the processing AFTER loading the data from the database into the image is the problem. Why shouldn't I believe him? OTOH I believe you Seaside experts that Seaside's architecture is inherently non-blocking between sessions.

Thus there are two questions:
- how could any processing block the whole Seaside image?
- how to find possibly problematic spots in Ondrej's application code?

Once that is resolved one could think about further improvements.

Cheers
Helge

Does it also work (slowly) during the benchmark ?
That simulates your 'long running work'.

What everybody here tries to explain to you is that the problem is most probably in your DB driver (in Smalltalk or further down): it probably cannot do more than one concurrent request (as it is currently implemented). That is not a Seaside nor a fundamental Smalltalk problem.

Try investigating that aspect, separate from Seaside._______________________________________________
