[omniORB] Connection management behaviour

[Jorge Garcia]

Hi,

   I have a question about how omniOrb processes multiple remote
requests.

   I have done a client that spawns 10 threads, each thread performs a
remote method
  invocation and prints the result.

  The remote method's code is:

    long Libreria_i::suma(long value)
   {
     sleep(20); // delay
     value++;
     return value;
   }

   I have not modified the omniORB::maxTcpConnectionPerServer, (I'm
using the default value '5').

   When I launch the client the server receives the 10  requests and it
creates 5 concurrent threads
   to answer 5 of them and other ones remain blocked.

   The client receives the answers in the following manner: the first 5
come almost at the same time,
  (aprox. in 20 seconds), but the following answers  are received with a
constant delay ,
  (between answers), of 20 seconds.

   It looks like after processing the 5 first requests, the remote
server only processes requests
   one by one, even if it has capacity for processing 5 at the same time
(threads that are already  finished)

   Is this behavior correct ?.

   How can the server be forced to accept the next 5 requests at the
same time ?



Thanks in advance,

   Jorge Garcia.
