Making an SCPPool for worklist threads

[tiagostein]

Hello. I have successfully implemented a server with StoreSCP capability in a SCPPool and implementing the store behavior in the worker threads.

Now I have to impolement worklist SCP support and I am wondering... can I do the same for worklist or are these pools restricted on what SCP I can provide on them? I ask this because I have seen not a single example of SCPPools doing anything other than handling Stores.

There is no restriction in the SCPPool class that would prevent you from implementing a Worklist SCP. The worklist server in DCMTK is simply much older than the SCPPool class and uses a different mechanism to support multiple clients: I creates a separate process for each incoming network connection, using fork() on Posix operating systems and CreateProcess() on Windows.
