JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "JBJCA-260: New WorkManager": http://community.jboss.org/message/521839#521839 Author : Jesper Pedersen Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/jesper.pedersen Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Currently the WorkManager uses the thread pool implementation in JBoss Common. The JBoss Threads project creates a way to define thread pools and their execution parameters to a higher degree.   The new WorkManager implementation should make use of JBoss Threads in order to   1. Provide greater flexibility for thread pool creation 2. Better alignment thread pools in the JBoss Application Server   We need to define datastructures such that the WorkManager API:   http://java.sun.com/javaee/6/docs/api/javax/resource/spi/work/WorkManager...   can be implemented.   The WorkManager should reference two thread pools at first:   1. Short running tasks (default) 2. Long running tasks (tasks with HintsContext.LONGRUNNING_HINT set)   Later we can add support for additional thread pools with custom JBoss hints - such as LOWPRIORITY_HINT and HIGHPRIORITY_HINT. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/521839#521839
