[Axis2] ThreadPool inside Axis2

[Chamil Thanthrimudalige <ch...@opensource.lk>]

hi all,

Axis2 at present implements a very simple ThreadPool concept. If we can 
come up with a way of using an external thread pool we can let the axis2 
users use a more robust ThreadPool of their choice if need be. If an 
external ThreadPool is not set we can do the same thing that we are 
doing now. Providing a method like in Jetty 6, which is 
setThreadPool(ThreadPool tp) with the ThreadPool implementing 
execute(Runnable r) method will be an ideal method to do this.

Best Regards,
Chamil Thanthrimudalige.

Right .. if we have this then in a J2EE integration we could tie that
request to the J2EE runtime to provide the threads.

Hmm, does this mean we will have no problem in running threads in J2EE
environments ? Hmm, if thats the case, this is a good idea. ( this
doesn't mean we should pop up threads here and there ;-) ). .
The two scenarios we are using threads are in invoke non-blocking case
and Async Message Receivers. So this will not be a problem with thread
pools.

Chamil, can you please create a JIRA on this, IF people here agree ?

Thanks,
Chinthaka

+1 for making the thread pool externally settable. In fact, we should do
the same externalization for any other resource allocation need. Axis2/C
is doing this carefully (out of sheer necessity - unlike Java they can't
assume a fixed runtime environment .. everyone has their own APR/NPR/PHP
etc.) and we should do the same.
