expectit in threads

[Dmitrijs Galockins]

Hello.

I am new in Java and i have a question.

If i create Expectit objects in multiple threads, and send/expect ssh/telnet data, will it be safe? 

Thank You

Hi,

Generally speaking you should NOT share the Expect instance across multiple threads. This is not thread safe.

You may have an Expect instance associated with one input stream in a separate tread. That would be technically safe as long as underlying input stream is safe. I’m not sure though that’s a good idea.

Please read this note as well:

I might be able to help if you can give me a bit more details.

Thanks,

- Alexey

Thank you for your answer.
I think I understood the basic idea. One instance - one thread.
I need to collect text configurations from 3-4k devices, but telnet is really slow protocol. I want to try multithreading.
Thank you for the help.
