Use non-blocking, async API for BOSH servlet
Description
After upgrading Jetty from the 7 to the 9 branch ( & ), an issue pops up where some BOSH requests will fail.
The direct cause of this issue is that sometimes, the InputStream from the HttpServletRequest returns nothing when being read.
A simplistic work-around for this problem is checking for availability of data (through InputStream.available()) and sleeping for a couple of milliseconds when that returns zero.
The root cause of the issue can be found in usage of the non-async API from an async context. Instead of using the non-async API, the newer async API should be used.
Environment
Activity
New implementation has been pushed and tested. Pidgin (via BOSH) gives odd behavior, but that was already the case before I applied the changes. Strophe, JSJac and Candy appear to work just fine with the new changes.
I am working on this issue in this fork: https://github.com/guusdk/Openfire/tree/OF-885
This issue was discussed on the Jetty User mailinglist. The discussion is archived here: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/jetty-users/msg05552.html
