The technique combines the Jetty asynchronous HTTP client with the Jetty servers ability to suspend servlet processing, so that threads are not held while waiting for rest responses. Thus threads can handle many more requests and web applications using this technique should obtain at least ten fold increases in performance. Read more... Bad Robot!

From small user populations to hundreds of thousands... See their full posting here! Read more... JSR-315 Needs You II Rajiv, the spec lead on JSR-315 has posted his views on the issue of flexible automatic configuration of web applications.
