JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "Smooks problem": http://community.jboss.org/message/521038#521038 Author : Maurice Zeijen Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/mzeijen Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- The number of Reader instances should be equal to the number of threads that you assign to the service listener. If you have multiple listeners (ignoring the gateway listener, because that doesn't actually execute the actions) then you should add up all the threads of the listeners and use that number for your pool size.   So if your service can have 3 active threads executing it then a pool size of 3 is correct. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/521038#521038
