Socket listener properties

New listener properties support socket channels with Jetty 6.1.

Setting socket listener properties

Other listener configuration properties are described in Chapter 3, “Creating and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.

Start EAServer, and use the Management Console to connect to the server.
Expand the Listeners folder, then select the listener to configure.

On the General tab, enter:

Display name	Configuration property	Description	Default value
Use SocketChannel Type Listener	useSocketChannel	Use a socket channel, instead of a simple socket; true or false. HTTPS and IIOPS listeners always use simple sockets.	false
Thread per Connection	useBlockingNIO	Use blocking NIO; true or false. IIOP listeners always use blocking NIO.	false
Maximum Number of Threads	maxThreads	Maximum number of threads that EAServer can use to process requests, including acceptor threads for NIO	15
Number of Acceptors	numberOfAcceptor	Number of acceptor threads For NIO, the number of threads available for processing requests equals the maximum number of threads minus the number of acceptor threads.	1
Header Buffer Size (bytes)	headerBufferSize	Size of the buffer header	8192 bytes
Request Buffer Size (bytes)	requestBufferSize	Size of the request buffer	32768 bytes
Response Buffer Size (bytes)	responseBufferSize	Size of the response buffer	65536 bytes
Maximum Idle Time (ms)	maxIdleTime	Number of milliseconds a socket remains idle before it disconnects	3600000ms
Socket Linger Time (ms)	soLingerTime	Number of milliseconds a socket waits to transmit data. After the specified period of time, unsent data is lost.	1000ms

Connection types

The values of useSocketChannel and useBlockingNIO define the connection type:

For this connection type	Set useSocketChannel to	Set useBlockingNIO to
Sockets	false	true or false
Blocking NIO	true	true
Select channel NIO	true	false
