Questions regarding Multithreading

[Ardito]

Hi,
I have some questions regarding Multithreading:

I have some code like this:

Code: Select all

public class ScriptHandler extends BaseClientRequestHandler
{
   @Override
   public void handleClientRequest(User user, ISFSObject params)
   {
   String test = params.getUtfString("test");
   ...
   ...
   (Many, many, many instructions)
   }
}

or

Code: Select all

public class ScriptHandler extends BaseServerEventHandler
{
   @Override
   public void handleServerEvent(ISFSEvent event) throws SFSException
   {
   User user = (User) event.getParameter(SFSEventParam.USER);
   ...
   ...
   (Many, many, many instructions)
   }
}

If multiple requests arrive at the same time, how does SmartFox manage them?

Are the variables assigned at the beginning of the code overwritten even if the Tread has not finished all the instructions?
Or wait for the Tread to finish the instructions before overwriting the initial variables?

Greetings

Hi,

If multiple requests arrive at the same time, how does SmartFox manage them?

They are handled by a different thread.

Are the variables assigned at the beginning of the code overwritten even if the Tread has not finished all the instructions?

No. Every thread has its own stack where local variables are created. So there's no chance of overwriting anything.

Or wait for the Tread to finish the instructions before overwriting the initial variables?

They always run in parallel unless you add locking instructions that modify the normal execution.
