                 Key: JBCOMMON-15
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCOMMON-15
             Project: JBoss Common
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 1.0.4.GA
            Reporter: Ron Sigal
         Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis
             Fix For: 1.0.4.GA


According to http://altair.cs.oswego.edu/pipermail/concurrency-interest/2004-September/001037.html, "in certain circumstances the combination of PooledExecutor with BoundedLinkedQueue with a waitWhenBlocked policy can lead to deadlock." 

A post in the Remoting forum, http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3995334#3995334, indicates that a deadlock has been detected in Remoting due to its use of BasicThreadPool.  In response, the blocking policy in Remoting has been changed from WAIT to RUN, though WAIT would be preferable.  The poster in  http://altair.cs.oswego.edu/pipermail/concurrency-interest/2004-September/001037.html indicates that an alternative solution is to use BoundedBuffer in place of BoundedLinkedQueue.

It would be useful, therefore, if a queue could be passed to the BasicThreadPool constructor.
