[commons-pool] Should I use commons-pool for this?

["Morycz, Felicia V" <fe...@eds.com>]

I'm writing a service that runs continually and produces objects that I want
to put into a keyed pool.  Then there are consumers that will get and remove
the objects based on the key.  If the key is not found yet, the consumer
should wait until it is there or a timeout period is reached.  I started
looking at commons-pool and could not find any examples.  

1.  Could you point me to some examples, possibly one that uses a keyed
object pool?

2.  I'm concerned about using commons-pool because it seems to be geared
toward maintaining a pool of reusable objects.  I do not reuse the objects,
I consume them.  Is there somewhere else I should look that better matches
my needs?

Why not just use a queue.
Make one out of a java.util.Vector or something.  You can use wait and
notify to tell the consumer thread something has been placed in the
queue.
