[14:19:02 EST(-0500)] <dstn> Question, when a channel is rendered and it times out, does the thread stop or is it allowed to continue rendering?
[14:19:14 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think the thread is stopped
[14:19:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> not sure
[14:19:22 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well ... I'm pretty sure
[14:19:34 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I know I've wanted to dig into that (so many things like this) and fix it
[14:19:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> my idea would be to have the portal put the long running thread in a cleanup queue
[14:19:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> let it go for like another X seconds
[14:20:13 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> then if it still isn't done forcibly kill the thread and clean it up
[14:20:25 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think right now it imediately kills it if it times out
[14:20:27 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I'm seeing some weird thing happen...a channel renders but times out and I see the error channel but as I watch the logs, it looks like the thread is still going
[14:20:41 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which we have found causes problems if the thread is in the middle of JSP compilation
[14:20:47 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think it depends on what it was doing?
[14:20:59 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> like threads blocked on IO don't really die very nicely
[14:21:50 EST(-0500)] <dstn> interesting, cause it is the weather portlet
[14:23:00 EST(-0500)] <dstn> which has had some io blocking issues
[14:23:02 EST(-0500)] <dstn> grr
[14:23:12 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I thought httpclient would help with that
[14:35:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well it would help with timeouts
[14:36:17 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but as far as I understand if the JVM is doing IO (which ends up in native code) thread pause/stop operations have no effect
[14:36:27 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> really the uPortal channel rendering thread management could use some TLC
[14:36:34 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> better pool monitoring
