I am trying to create a REST service using a Servlet that lives inside an NSF. The Servlet runs but I noticed that it handles requests one at a time, so if a request is waiting for a database query to finish, all other requests must wait. I know that requests for Servlets on Tomcat or Glassfish get their own thread but that doesn't seem to be happening on the Domino server. To try and get around this I tried to spawn new threads inside the Servlet but kept getting NotesContext not initialized errors. I searched around and found a project called Threads and Jobs, and intended to use the code there to create a Servlet that spawns new threads and gives the client a requestId and requires them to poll to retrieve the job results, or listen on a port that the server will broadcast on when finished. When I tried to import the project and run it as is, the pages Thread.xsp and Job.xsp rendered but weren't functional. I get the following output in the console:
