Connection pooling to what? I assume you are not writing any C code,
but instead want to do this entirely from Tcl using either the Tcl
socket,
AOLserver ns_socket, or similar commands. This is definitely a Tcl
and/or AOLserver question, you need to ask them, this has nothing
directly to do with OpenACS. What you want is to "share Tcl channels"
between multiple threads. By default, you cannot do this.
However, I do vaguely remember this coming up before on the AOLserver
list before (e.g.,
July 2003,
Nov. 2002,
July 2002)
and people have independently solved this at least twice, likely three
times.
I would first check the latest versions of the Tcl
Threads Extension.
From its latest
docs
it does not seem to support passing channels between threads, but you
might want to ask Zoran (its maintainer). He no doubt is much more
familiar with all this channel passing stuff, both in Tcl and in
AOLserver.
If the Tcl Threads extension does not support channel sharing/passing
between threads, then I would check out the older
nssharechannel or
dqd_utils
AOLserver modules, which definitely do support this. There's also the
AOLserver 4.x ns_chan command, mentioned in some the threads above.
