[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6573?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Philippe Marschall commented on AS7-6573: ----------------------------------------- It would be great if AS8 went farther than the spec and provided a {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool}} and a {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory}}. These don't have to (and probably shouldn't) preserve the context (see also http://java.net/projects/concurrency-ee-spec/lists/jsr236-experts/archive...). The advantage of this instead of manually creating a {{ForkJoinPool}} would be that it can be configured, managed and monitored in the server (and that threads are traditionally managed by the server). I'm well aware that this is unspecified behaviour but so is Infinispan in AS7 and AS8 since JSR-107 again didn't make it. Should I open a separate subtask for this? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
