I have a project where we have a windows service that creates a
remoting object for an external client application to communicate with
using ipc. We've discovered the client is making updates to the class
fields by calling the update methods in the remoting object class and
while thats not an issue I'm curious about threading with remote calls.
I can't find much in the way of what threading issues can occur. If
the service's thread (which instantiates the remoting class) calls
method A() through a proxy class attained through
Activator.GetOb ject() while the client calls method A(). Does the
proxy class returned by Activator.GetOb ject have any thread safety to
it, being that it's dealing with two objects (client and server) that
are possible callers, or do I need to add my own thread safety code to
the class?
Is it possible to lead to a deadlock via a remote call and if so would
the remote call ever terminate or would that lead to a system issue
requiring a reboot? 2 3981
Greg,
I would imagine that the proxy itself would be thread-safe. I can't
guarantee this, but I would imagine that the proxy is just sending messages
to the server, which doesn't require a good deal of shared state (at least,
updating it at the same time).
However, on the server side, if you are using a singleton instance, then
you have to worry about thread safety on the instance that is created.
That's where you will have to pay attention.
Hope this helps.

Testing showed us that the proxy code coming from multiple clients can
call the same remoted method with no thread safety and cause issues, so
I converted the remoted class to a singleton instance.
We managed to instance the remoted class in the server and get local
access to it's members via activator.getob ject while getting another
instance lock using the client. Twice we were able to cause a stack
fault in the windows service (the server) by getting a deadlock. The
clients exception catch never even fired, the application simply died.
..NET 2 was nice in catching the lock from within the service and
brought me to the calling code in vs2005 which is a lot better than
what vs2003 was able to do for me. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I have a WebApplication that uses tcp/binary remoting to communicate with

this box.
What I'm finding is that occasionally the Web Server locks up. If I restart
the Web Server any new requests are processed just fine. The...

Hi,
I have a single threaded server application except for async socket

Anyway, i need to host some remote objects but remoting mechanism
spawns new threads for remote calls. I don't know about .net threading
too much. On the sockets part, i can send a response with a delay, so i
can exchange info with main thread using queues, generate a response on
main thread and send it. But i need to do something to block client if

Hello,
I have an Mdi-application which also is a remoting-server (Ipc).
Several instances can co-exist on the same machine.
I have a small app (search-engine) (remoting-client) which calls a sub on
the MDI (specific instance) thus retrieving eg the data of a certain customer.
If the customer childform is already instanciated, there is no problem.
If the destination-childform is not yet open, it will be opened like this:
