#8292: Restart app_server issues --------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: czeidler | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Unscheduled Component: Servers/app_server | Version: R1/alpha3 Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | --------------------------------+--------------------------- - BPicture needs to keeps a local copy of its data to be able to reconnect to a new app_server. A better way could be to use shared memory. Since the BPicture can grow, a resize function has to be implemented in the ClientMemoryAllocator. After that a similar implementation like the bitmap one can be used. - when a app is talking to the app server while the server crashes the app may hang while waiting for a server response. Maybe improve the server link by introducing a timeout ~0.5s. If the timeout is reached, check if the app_server port really is dead and stop otherwise continuing listening. - all the app server protocol has to be checked if messages not reaching the (dead) server are catched properly. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8292> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
