Philippe Marschall created AS7-6826: --------------------------------------- Summary: Add Support for Equinox ForkJoinPool Key: AS7-6826 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6826 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Enhancement Components: EE Reporter: Philippe Marschall Assignee: David Lloyd Unfortunately JSR-236 does not address Java 7 fork/join pools. This puts people how want to use fork/join pools in an awkward position, either don't use them and wait for EE 8 (four or five years) or violate the "contract" and just create them anyway. This presents a great opportunity for AS8 to go further than the spec and provide a {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool}} and a {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory}}. This allows us to innovate and standardize at a later time in EE 8 once we gained experience. This should include the following features: * Allow the configuration of {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool}} in the server configuration. You should be able to configure the parallelism and asyncMode (see constructor arguments). Similar to {{javax.enterprise.concurrent.ManagedExecutorService}}. * Allow the injection of {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool}} configured in the server. Similar to {{javax.enterprise.concurrent.ManagedExecutorService}}. * Allow the configuration of {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory}} in the server configuration, merely to match the same feature in JSR-268. * Allow the injection of {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory}} configured in the server (similar to Infinispan), merely to match the same feature in JSR-268. * {{java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool}} should per default not preserve the context http://java.net/projects/concurrency-ee-spec/lists/jsr236-experts/archive... (naming, security, transactions, class loading). Optionally you should be able to configure which contexts are preserved, this might be tough as {{ForkJoinPool}} is not designed for extensibility. 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. This issue is intended for AS8, not AS7. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
