Re: ofbiz HttpClient versus org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
I'm resurrecting this thread because, as outlined by this other thread http://markmail.org/message/j4s6tq2ccit3wtbf, unlike Apache
HttpClient, OFBiz's is not closing connections.
I have not the time at the moment to replace it, but I'd like to do so in October or November. I will open a Jira then (this message
more as a self reminder...)
Interesting link also http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/connmgmt.html

Re: ofbiz HttpClient versus org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
actually I was suggesting that ofbiz as a whole would be re-factored to NIO
My underlying motivation is to stop expanding libraries and start only
having what ofbiz is really using.
and that is a harder effort but well worth it.
But I am willing to work with the jira.

Re: ofbiz HttpClient versus org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
Ok a longer version of my terse reply.
there are two concerns in this thread you brought up.
1) TIMENOUT
2) implementing a different package that does not support the newer
java.nio.channel like the APJ does.
#1 is something than if you set to long it will waste response time, on
a bad connection, if to short will have the effect in the Email.
when I started in 96 the latency of the internet was uder 100 ms max.
Now the latency of the net is upwards of what used to be considered
intoloralbe latency (200 ms).
On top of that you have the Server response time which during the
Holidays gets really long so you will time out before the server
responds causing resends that only bog down the server more.
the above is a long winded way of saying your time out has to change
with the conditions.
#2 in looking at the http library they are still using the java.net for
connection. So in my estimation, we do a re-factor of ofbiz to java.nio
and fix the httpclient we have.

Thanks BJ,
This is interesting for other subjects. I think replacing the HttpClient still stands.

Just as a note I believe a major redactor using the java.nio.channels
library, would solve a lot of problems. connecion are manage internally.
