HttpClient and Java.nio?

[Andre-John Mas <am...@expedia.com>]

Hi,

Has anyone done any experimentation to see if Java NIO could add anything
extra, performance wise, to HttpClient?

Not that I know. The main reason why NIO is not used, is that we want to 
be compatible with JDK 1.3.

Hi Andre,

To my knowledge no-one has done much work with HttpClient and NIO.  
Theoretically speaking I don't know if NIO would have much (if any) of 
an impact though.

I have been working with the NIO quite extensively for the last few
months. Here's my take on the problem. I believe as of HttpClient 4.0 we
should no longer maintain 1.2 (actually HttpClient is still fully jre
1.2 compatible) compatibility. That would enable us to leverage some of
NIO features primarily new Buffer and Charset classes. This said, in my
opinion there's absolutely nothing that NIO can bring in in terms of
performance to client-side applications. The channel multiplexing
functionality of NIO can _potentially_ improve performance and
scalability of server applications by allowing to do away with the 'one
thread per socket' model. The mileage may vary, though, depending upon a
particular JRE implementation and the costs of thread creation and
context switching in a specific OS.
