[xmlblaster-devel] JDK1.4 and noblocking socket IO

[Marcel Ruff <ruff at swand.lake.de>]

Salute,

i have to make a design decision for the callback framework.

It is

  threaded with blocking socket (JDK 1.2 - 1.4)

versus

  event driven with none blocking sockets (since JDK 1.4).

I personally prefer the event driven way, it performs better
and does not consume thread resources.
On multi processor machine (say over 4 CPU) the threaded approach
gains a bit again.
The best solution is probably a mix.

Now my question:

Going the none blocking way binds us to JDK 1.4!
Is this a problem for anybody?

thanks

Marcel
