Provide hooks to enable creation of all daemon threads ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JGRP-683 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-683 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Reporter: Bela Ban Assigned To: Bela Ban Fix For: 2.7, 2.6.2 Attachments: bla.java Goal: to enable a developer to setup JGroups to use only daemon threads. Default will still be that IO bound threads are non-daemons Jon Richards wrote: > It works OK for the thread pools used by TP but a couple of problems: > > Problem 1: I need to kludge it a bit: it turns out that I need to do a > channel.connect() before I can modify/set the TP thread pools because > the thread pools are created in TP.start().

What if I check in TP.start() if thread_pool/oob_thread_pool is already set and don't create a thread pool of already set ? Then you could create a JChannel, set the thread pool(s) and then call JChannel.connect(). > Problem 2: there are other threads at the transport level that get > created using ProtocolStack.getThreadFactory() and there is not way to > override how this thread factory gets created. I could provide setters for the 2 thread factories in ProtocolStack and make them non-final. Would that help ?
