Wish New Class Type

[Jmu5667]

Hello

It would be great to create a class that ran in it's own thread space. I am already familar with the threading abilites in B4J but I think this would be a great addition. The use case I would refer too is when using a socketserver:

Private Sub srvr_NewConnection(Successful As Boolean, NewSocket As Socket)
    
    Dim NewClient As cls_sck_client
  
    If Successful Then
        NewClient.Initialize(NewSocket)
    Else
        Log("Connection attempt failed: " & LastException.Message)
    End If
  
    srvr.Listen

End Sub

In the above code the cls_sck_client class would run in it's own thread.

Is this possible ? I think so

Regards

John.

The correct solution is to use AsyncStreams and enjoy the fact that you don't need to worry about the background threads.

Example of a class where each instance handles a different connection: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/mjpeg-cctv-server.73792/#content
A more complex example: [B4X] FTP Server implemented with Socket and AsyncStreams

Thanks for the reply. cls_sck_client class is using AsyncStreams, but I would rather have the class itself not running on the main thread or in my case an ABBackgroundWorker tread. I am using ABBackgroundWorkers to run the serversocket. My concern is with a high volume of traffic that performance may become an issue. In the cls_sck_client it also uses SQL GetConnection from the main ConnectionPool.

Make sure to use the async SQL methods.

Use jServer and build a powerful server. Each handler does run in its own thread.

The connections are raw tcp socket connections, not HTTP
