| | Custom Http Handler Factory and Possible Concurrency Issues on Application Start Using .NET 3.5... 1. Will ASP.NET guarantee that no more than ONE instance of a custom HTTP handler factory (class implementing IHttpHandlerFactory) is ever created in an ASP.NET application? 2. Assuming the answer to #1 is "yes - never more than one instance" (I hope that's true), then does ASP.NET automatically take care of concurrency with respect to accessing that one instance? My situation is that I have written a custom handler factory. In it's constructor, I initialize a couple of class-scoped collections that are subsequently used by logic called by the factory's GetHandler() method. I am concerned that when the app is restarted (for whatever reason), and if the site is really busy, multiple requests could arrive simultaneously (or close enough to cause concurrency problems) while my custom factory is initializing itself. Is there anything I can or should do to avoid race conditions or other such concurrency problems - or will ASP.NET queue the requests until the factory is ready to serve all of the queued requests? I have observed that my custom factory is not instantiated until the first request arrives (after an IIS or application restart)... thus my concern - what if 100 requests arrive all at once and the factory isn't yet instantiated and initialized? Thanks. |

| | Re: Custom Http Handler Factory and Possible Concurrency Issues on Application Start The factory, upon startup (it being instantiated) hits the database. That's a quick hit, but still it could be a full 1 second for the factory to fully initialize itself. It's reasonable to expect multiple requests to arrive within that one second. Will those requests queue up nicely and wait for the factory to initialize? Or would multiple instances of the factory be created? -Jordan "Juan T.
