Remobjects, good in multi-threading environment?

Hello all,

I am having stability issues in a multi-threaded application (a NT service,
actually) that retrieves data from remote locations over the internet.
Once or twice a week the service suddenly runs out of resources
and hangs. This may be associated to our internet connection being
interrupted temporarily.

The application uses "MidWare" as a data transport mechanism and
has an internal html user interface based on Intraweb 8.0.23 that is
only used to remotely control it occasionally.


I would like to move away from MidWare to a newer framework, preferably
one that is based on blocking sockets, due to the multi-threaded and
windowless nature of my application. If one of my threads encounters
a failure I just want to be able to shut it down gracefully and start
a new instance of the thread without having to worry about message
queues and message pumps.

One of my possibilities would be to just re-write the data layer using a
blocking socket component such as Synapse (which I'm comfortable
with, as opposed to Indy), another would be to use a commercial
system such as RemObjects.

Anyway, I need the data transport layer to be rock solid and failing
"gracefully" without running out of resources even if the internet
connection breaks down.


Any recommendations / Experiences?
