[jboss-as7-dev] Removing thread subsystem

[Andrig Miller]

Actually the thread subsystem is needed to be able to create a sane thread pool for JBoss Web. You cannot rely on its internal thread pool implementation to get a properly configured thread pool. You must use its "executor" attribute, and define a thread pool in the thread subsystem. 

This CANNOT BE REMOVED , its absolutely critical.

> Hi,

> Threads subsystem has not been directly used since 7.1.0.CR1.
> see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-390 for more details.

> The only usage we have is that EJB3 & JCA subsystems use some common
> code from threads subsystem (parser & few RD) but beyond that
> subsystem is unused aka we could remove ThreadExtension and
> everything would still work.

> And ever since there was no need for thread subsystem
> enabled/deployed in configuration but we still had it in all our
> default shipped configs.

> I would like to remove it from our default shipped configurations as
> it does not effect any functionality.

> Also I have introduced option to "deprecate" extension, so it now
> logs warning when such extension is registered (aka is found in
> configuration)

> As goes for compatibility issues in mixed-domain this change does not
> effect 7.1.0+/EAP6 as they can properly operate without this
> subsystem.

> It looks like that we removed usage of Threads subsystem in 7.1.0.CR1
> but forgot to remove it from shipped configurations.

> my current effort at this can be found at
> https://github.com/ctomc/jboss-as/compare/threads
> (there is lots of removed redundant & old style tests)
