[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss AS7 Development] - Re: can I avoid a service to block as7 startup ?

Jason Greene [http://community.jboss.org/people/jason.greene] created the discussion "Re: can I avoid a service to block as7 startup ?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/631175#631175 -------------------------------------------------------------- Since MSC is a concurrent state machine it's thread pool is a critical resource that is intended to run only non-blocking (busy) tasks. Since there can be thousands of services, and MSC does not know the usage pattern of each service, it's not possible to have a single large generic thread pool for everything. For this reason services that need to execute blocking tasks must use async startup and pass those tasks to another thread pool.
