For CORBA and PowerBuilder components, the Bind Thread option specifies whether component instances must be bound to the thread that creates the instance.
This option decreases scalability. Twice as many threads are needed to run the component, since each instance requires the client thread plus another thread bound to the component. Also, while the thread is bound to the instance, it cannot be pooled and used to service requests involving other components.
Enable this option only for PowerBuilder components if required (see “PowerBuilder component performance”) and CORBA/Java and CORBA/C++ components that use thread-local storage. Otherwise, disable this feature so EAServer can run the component on any available thread.
Enterprise JavaBean components implemented according to the EJB specification do not require this setting.
