News & Blogs Webtide Greg Wilkins Jan Bartel Case Studies News Asynchronous Restful Webapplication This blog annotates the Jetty 7 example web application that uses Jetty asynchronous HTTP client and the proposed suspendable servlets 3.0 API, to call an eBay restful web service. 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!
