Objectives

This chapter will lay the groundwork for distributed application development by discussing the role of multithreading in a distributed architecture. Starting with an overview of multithreading and its related terms, we will then look at how EAServer handles this task. We will conclude by coding an example that utilizes EAServer's message service to push and pull messages using threads.
