Hello Kenneth,
I remembered Patrick asking this upgrade, but not from the point of using
'new' technologies like nio, I think. Rather to cleanout 1.3 specific code
and integrating new APIs. Probably Swing related APIs most of the times.
As I understood NIO it mostly helps for doing async io indeed but also
allow better scalable IO. This is however more server oriented than this
client side project is. So this would not directly benefit us. However a
lot of the multithreading things that are in the code base right, would be
gone. You wouldn't have to start a comm-thread for every emulator but use
one thread on a channel as a switcher. As you mostly use one emulator
session at the time, this wouldn't pose performance problems and do the
same thing with less resources.
HTH,
Wim.

Hello all
I remember a post, from Patrick I think, that was asking to move the
emulator up
to 1.4 and use some of the features for those greater than 1.3.
I am assuming that would mean to use the NIO streams, channels and the
such correct?
If that is the case what would using the NIO help us achieve that can not
be
done now? Would it be better? What would be the goal?
I ask because after having used the NIO in a couple of small projects it
really
only helps for asynchronous correct? We really use synchronous on the
client
side and really do not see any speed enhancment or anything like that when
using
the synchronous model.
If anyone suggests the asynchronous model for doing this could they tell
me why
that would help. I do not see it but am open to learning the benefits and
the
coding if it will help us reach a goal.
Regards
Kenneth
