Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. 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>
2. Place the .asp page in the Wwwroot folder on a Windows 2000 Web server.
3. On drive C, create a folder called MTSTest.
4. Start Visual FoxPro.
5. To create a table to use, run the following code:
CREATE TABLE C:\MTSTest\Counter FREE (count i)
INSERT INTO counter VALUES (0)
USE
6. 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
7. Build the COM server.
8. Create a package for the COM server in MTS on the Web server. (For more
information, see the "References" section.)
9. Hit Mtstest.asp with multiple threads using the Microsoft Web Application
Stress Tool. (For more information, see the "References" section.)
10. Look at the Web Application Stress Tool report. Failures may be listed in
the report as well as in the Windows Event Log.
