Dedicated External Server Socket Interface from ATS ??
Hi Folks,
I have written two plugins for ATS, one for changing caching logic with
help of external decision agent and one for content transformation.
In both plugin's I'm establishing a connection with an external
server/process for each transaction, which I feel kind of over kill as
its repetitive and a good software
design always avoids repetitive task. ICAP protocol might help but again
it's also a transaction based protocol and has inherited properties of HTTP.
My question is, is there a way to establish a dedicated connection
between an external server and ATS, which can be used by all the
transactions(As Transport)?
I want to avoid changing ATS system architecture as its very complex.
Thank you,
Sunil Vasanta

Yes. In the deployments I have seen that do this, the connection is placed in a separate thread and the hook function use standard inter-thread communications to send jobs to the dedicated thread (locked queues, thread safe containers, etc.). The dedicated thread can schedule an event for the continuation when the work is finished.
