I'm trying to implement a fork()ing server using distributed objects;
since fork() is awfully unixy, I think conceptually you can apply this
same problem to a threaded server (I need to fork, threading won't cut
it for my application). With that out of the way, is it even possible?
Here is the problem I'm having:
I've got my vended object which clients can connect to and send
messages to, no problem there. In my server, once I get a request for
a command I want to fork() off another process (similar to creating a
thread just to handle the request). Now the trouble starts: what ever
the vended object returns goes right to the client. If I fork (or
create a thread to handle the task) I've got to return nothing in the
main process (can this be done with distributed objects?) and only
return data and let the created process/thread return the useful
value to the client.
Did that make sense? Am I barking up the wrong tree with distributed objects?
Thanks for any help!
