Carlos Oliva [http://community.jboss.org/people/ramboid] created the discussion "How long should connector threads linger in JBoss5?" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/631176#631176 -------------------------------------------------------------- Aren't the threads above the maxSpareThreads supposed to be terminated after a minute or so? I set the maxSpareThreads of the 84443 connector to 35 but the current threads are always larger than 35 (~ 49) with most of these threads in a state of R without a client connected. Is there any other setting that I should examine?  I was expecting that the threads that are beyond the maxSpareThreads would terminate after a minute or so. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/631176#631176] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
