Studying about blocking and non blocking IO, created some doubts in my mind.
I came to read a statement written here (https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/201402.mbox/%3C52F521B7.2060207@apache.org%3E) that "Even the NIO HTTP connector has to use blocking IO to read the request body and write the response:.
Can anyone please explain this?
Secondly, I was running jmeter load testing on tomcat server for one of the API used for fetching some details of a user in our project. Initially I was making 2-3 requests/secs and the application was able to maintain that throughput, but as soon as I tried 15-20 requests/sec, tomcat server's performance time increased exponentially. Thread Dump shows that Nio connector threads are waiting to write the data, please provide the solution so that threads do not get blocked.
