Java URLConnection to JBoss Lags

Issue

• In this scenario, there are multiple sequential HTTP requests being made in rapid succession (code example below) from a standalone Java client to a JBoss instance.  There is a lot of "lag" time between each request

  for (String url : urls) {
       URL realURL = new URL(args[0] + "/"
                 + url.replaceAll("\\{sid\\}", args[1]));
  
       HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) realURL
                 .openConnection();
       connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
       connection.connect();
  
       InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream();
       InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(stream);
       while (reader.read() != -1) {
       }
  }
