[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-541) Thread pools in transport protocols not using daemon threads
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-541?page=comments#action_12367101 ]
Vladimir Blagojevic commented on JGRP-541:
------------------------------------------
"In particular, it is dangerous to use daemon threads for tasks that might perform
any sort of I/O. Daemon threads are best saved for 'housekeeping' tasks, such as
background thread that periodically removes expired entries from an in-memory cache"
- Brian Goetz (JCIP, page 165)
Thread pools in transport protocols not using daemon threads
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JGRP-541
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-541
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: Paul Ferraro
Assigned To: Bela Ban
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.5
The ThreadFactory used by the ThreadPoolExecutors (for both regular and OOB messages) in
org.jgroups.protocols.TP does not create daemon threads. During runtime the JVM will
resist exiting unless the channel is explicitly shutdown.
