MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager vs. NIO

[Noah Keen <nk...@firstlook.biz>]

Hi,
 
I hope this is the right list.
 
I have just finished using MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager to help us
with performance issues. Our web app connects to a 3rd party via an HTTP
request. The app was going all pear shaped because we could handle lots
of requests but we not able to 'pass thru' the requests fast enough. 
 
My MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager solution seems to have solved the
issue admirably. However, I am curious, is it a good solution? When
should one use MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager and when should you
look at implementing an NIO solution using, for example, Java 1.4+
native stuff?
 
Thanks,
Noah
