Steps to Reproduce Behavior
Create an Active Server Pages (.asp) page named Mtstest.asp that contains the following code:
<HTML> <BODY> <% lnsecs = Request.QueryString("delay") set ox = Server.CreateObject("myserver.myclass") response.write ox.cnt() %> </BODY> </HTML>
- Place the .asp page in the Wwwroot folder on a Windows 2000 Web server.
- On drive C, create a folder called MTSTest.
- Start Visual FoxPro.
To create a table to use, run the following code:
CREATE TABLE C:\MTSTest\Counter FREE (count i) INSERT INTO counter VALUES (0) USE
Create a project called MyServer, and add the following code to the main program:
DEFINE CLASS myclass AS form OLEPUBLIC Datasession=2 && private datasession oScriptingContext=0 PROCEDURE Init SET EXCLUSIVE OFF USE C:\MTSTest\Counter shared ENDPROC PROCEDURE xOnStartPage(p1) ENDPROC PROCEDURE MyDoCmd(cCmd) &cCmd && Just execute parameter as if it were a Fox command. ENDPROC FUNCTION MyEval(cExpr) RETURN &cExpr && Evaluate parameter as if it were a Fox expression. ENDFUNC PROCEDURE cnt(p1) LOCAL cStr REPLACE Counter.count WITH Counter.count+1 cStr = _VFP.fullname+"<br>" cStr = cStr + 'thread id = '+TRANS(_VFP.threadid) + "<br>" cStr = cStr + 'Proc id = '+TRANS(_VFP.processid)+ "<br>" cStr = cStr + '<font size=5 color = red>Count = TRANS(Counter.count)+'</font><br>' RETURN cStr ENDPROC ENDDEFINE
- Build the COM server.
- Create a package for the COM server in MTS on the Web server. (For more information, see the "References" section.)
- Hit Mtstest.asp with multiple threads using the Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool. (For more information, see the "References" section.)
- Look at the Web Application Stress Tool report. Failures may be listed in the report as well as in the Windows Event Log.
