RE: [FormProc-developer] Data from session Object

You're probably completely correct.

The performance gain probably comes from creating far fewer objects and not
having to configure each new object, as the overhead of maintaining the pool
means that for smaller  numbers of invocations non pooled  is  faster.

I created a simple servlet and used both pooled and non pooled
implementations. As the load increases the pooled implementation shows fewer
non available errors and probably takes up less memory. I haven't really had
time to run exhaustive trials.

I've implemented the pool so that it is basically an add on rather than
intrinsic to FormProc. The underlying implementation is the jakarta-commons
pool -so if it's fundamentally sound the credit is all theirs. Think of it
not as redesigning the bow but as being an extra arrow in your quiver ;-)
As Anthony said, it's not really core FormProc stuff but at least if anyone
asks if you've considered pooling there's an example of how it could be done
( or of the folly of  trying :-) )
