Any problems using httpclient with stateless ejbs in JBoss

[Jones Scott - sjones <Sc...@acxiom.com>]

I am new and plan on using httpclient with jboss 4.0 and with stateless
ejbs.  Is any one doing this?  Any gotchas?

 

Thanks

Yes, there are. HttpClient has not been _specifically_ designed to be
run in EJB containers. In some circumstances HttpClient may spawn
additional threads, which violates the restrictions imposed on
well-behaved EJBs
<http://java.sun.com/blueprints/qanda/ejb_tier/restrictions.html>

This said, HttpClient can be (and has been) successfully used inside an
EJB container provided:

(1) MuthithreadHttpConnectionManager is not used
(2) Connect timeout is not used (set to zero) when running in JRE < 1.4

Hope this helps
