Threading in Remoting

[normanordas]

I have one method (GetRow) on the server (remotable object) that caters hundreds of simultaneous clients requests. How does the remotable object handles all this requests at the same time? Are they queued until one request is done or threads are created for each request? Are methods defined in a remotable object SYNCHRONIZED? Do threads process the same code inside GetRow method at tha same time? I was thinking that if the latter is the case then this is dangerous as data inside the method are arbitrarily changed.

Unless your remote object is setup using the Singleton pattern, you're creating one copy of the object for each instance of your application. Normally, all your instances are running the same copy of the code, but each has their own data. If multiple instances run the same method at the same time, they are running the same code, but against different data. The processor and operating system handle all the context switching between data sets transparently. There is no way that two instances running the same method at the same time can corrupt each others data. Normally, you don't have to worry about it at all.
