Continuations and direct components

[huntc]

Hi there,

Given the following code:

from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0:9000/myurl")
    .inOut("direct:getSomething");

Will a jetty continuation become suspended and thus release its thread while "direct:getSomething" does its work, and then become active once "direct:getSomething" replies?

I'm hoping that the above will permit thousands of connections while consuming a minimal number of threads.

Thanks for any confirmations.

Kind regards,
Christopher

Hi,

Snce the connection is an HTTP connection, the connectionObject will be preserved even though the thread is released. So long as the connectionObject is available, it will be reused to send a message in the reverse direction. The HTTP connectionTimeout will dictate whether the connection can be reused or not.

The Thread does not have to be locked up waiting for the next part of the route to release it upon receiving a response. That would be way too expensive.

Cheers,

Ashwin...
