10.2.7.2.2 How Many Applications and Connections Do You Want?

Decide how many applications you want to access and the number of connections you want to make.

• If you want connections to more than one application, then we recommend one of the following:
  • A single-threaded, multicontexted application
  • A multithreaded, multicontexted application
• If you want more than one connection to an application, then we recommend a multithreaded, multicontexted application.
• If you want only one connection to one application, then we recommend one of the following:
  • Multithreaded, single-contexted clients
  • Single-threaded, single-contexted clients

In both cases, multithreaded, multicontexted servers may be used.
