Description

I want to add api to my wt-application for example:

1. I send request to wt-app:

myapp.com/getdata?param1&param2

2. I want to get response in json array (simple text without wt js code and html)

I did it using WtResource but i have problem when there are a lot of request and big json data.

1. Client1 -> send request 1 and wait for response (json data).

  1. Client2 -> send request 2 and wait for response (json data).
  2. Client1 -> got response.
  3. Client2 -> got response.

Client2 is waiting for response until first request will be finished.

Is there way to do it asynchronously?

Regards Paul

Hey,

There are several aspects to this.

First, you should probably deploy a resource for a public "api" (i.e. web services), as a global (static) resource, which is then not specific to a session.

Secondly, for both static (global) and dynamic (session specific) resources, Wt will not serialize access (not in the built-in httpd and not in Wt itself, not even when requesting resources from the same session). So the behavior you observer does not make sense, unless:

  • somewhere in your code locking is being done to access the "json" data ?
  • or, you are actually not using a multi-threaded build or are only using a single thread ?
  • we've got a bug ?

Finally, if you are planning to transmit big resources, you should consider using response continuations, which allows transmission of a big response in chunks, freeing the thread and avoiding large memory allocations.

Regards,
