I wholeheartedly agree with Richard here. Why reinvent not only the wheel
but the whole vehicle?

Stick with standards like RESTful services and you can easily use readily
available and supported tools (like the IBM HTTP server). Then you can
focus your time on processing and returning data than the server app.

Seems to me a simple RESTful web service call might be a better vehicle
for this, but I don't know your vendors technical abilities.

Your programming then becomes dead-simple rather than writing a socket
server app.

Not that socket servers are hard, but why in today's world of web services
:-)

subject: Re: keepalive in socket server program

Alan, Nathan, Richard & Scott,
Thank you for the information.
At this time, there is only going to be one client.
I am going to use a single server job to receive the data and send it to a
data queue for processing.
At some point, the data queue method may be to slow for the volume of data
being received and I will have to look into another method.
The project that I am working on involves another software vendor, and
they are defining the interface specifications and requirements.
I will check with them as to exactly they will send as a keepalive and
what they want back.
As always, the information that I receive here in answer to my questions
has greatly improved my knowledge.

Thank you all for you help.
