Case 1: Our application lets lots of people edit the same stuff. We use a JMS topic for clients to register for notification of changes so they can show other people's actions. Fairly standard stuff. Case 2: One module processes a big list of little tasks, but needs to acknowledge completion of them with the server. This is often what it blocks on since acknowledgement requires locks on certain database structures. What we're moving towards is having the module submit its completion acks into a persistent queue, and a low-priority thread on the server sort them out in a single sequence (avoiding all the database locking overheads...) when there's nothing better to do. Submitting the acks into the queue should be a fast operation, therefore not keeping worker threads hanging around so much. ABS -- A city is like a large, complex, rabbit - ARP
