ONE process at a time

[Alan Wang]

Hi there,

I am having a web application which has OpenOffice running as backend. The
whole web application runs great if there is only one request at a time. The
web application will mess up if there are more than one requests at same
time. My question is what should I do to only allow one process at same
time for my web application. In another words, The second request will wait
until the first one has finished if there are more than one request at same
time.

Thanks in advanced

Alan

Aside from it being a pretty terrible idea you should look at the waithandle
classes in the System.Threading namespace, particuarly at the ManualReset
event. I only mention because you could do it but obviously it won't scale.

Like Duncan said you can uses the waithandle namespaces, which are like
mutex's.
It won't scale, and it's poor design. Better find out what resource(s) are
not able to handle multiple requests.

Cheers,

How about using synchronized method?
