Using doCloseWithReadPending flag

[Arshad Khan_1]

Hi All

The release notes for JDK 1.3.1.06 states the following when describing doCloseWithReadPending flag.


Note that if you are on HP-UX 11i (11.11), we have found that installing the following patch set will give you better performance. These patches are optional, they are not required. To see the improved performance, you need to remove the -XdoCloseWithReadPending switch when executing java.

PHNE_26728 Cumulative STREAMS patch
PHNE_27063 Cumulative ARPA Transport patch
PHKL_27092 Thread NOSTOP, Psets, Thread Abort
PHKL_25842 Thread Abort
PHKL_25871 eventport syscalls;socket close(2) hang fix



The questions is that after I apply these patches and remove the doCloseWithReadPending flag, will I still be able to close a socket when read is pending on that socket?

TIA
MAK
