When I am doing a test of comparison between Stateful and Stateless BSP application ( mentioned in blog Stateless and Stateful – Different behavior in application side ), I meet with a strange issue.
The conclusion is stateful BSP application will handle request sequentially. Suppose in client I send two request A and B to server. Request A takes 3 seconds to finish and B 2 seconds.
The request is sent via jQuery API.
It means for stateful application, I will observe the following timeline in Chrome network tab:
(1) the start time of both request are almost the same, since I send out two request in client code almost at the same time.
(2) even though the second request itself takes 2 seconds to finish, the total processing time for it is 3 seconds waiting for A to finish first + 2 seconds = 5 seconds in the end.

<button onclick="fire()">Fire two request</button>

function wrapperOnFetch(url){
fetch(url).then(function(response){
return response.json();
}).then(function(json){
console.log(url + ":" + json.message);
});
}
function fire(){
wrapperOnFetch("first.json");
wrapperOnFetch("second.json");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
the testing request for stateful application looks as below this time:
function wrapperOnFetch(url){
// enable session cookie sent with request
fetch(url,{ credentials:"include" }).then(function(response){
return response.json();
}).then(function(json){
console.log(url + ":" + json.message);
});
}
After this change the stateful BSP application behaves as expected: the requests are handled in sequence.
