WG: excalibur-pool bug? ..

[Holger Faltinsky/Denic <fa...@denic.de>]

Hi there.

we checked the mailarchive, but unfortunately we did not find the 
information we neeed, so we are posting our question here. It should be 
very easy to answer this right away:
 
We are running Avalon phoenix 4.0.4 which is accompanied by 
excalibur-pool-1.0.jar and excalibur-thread-1.1.1.jar in a production 
environment. We are facing problems with the SoftResourceLimitingPool. It 
seems that unter certain conditions the preconfigured <max-threads> value 
is exceeded and from then on the pool grows fast until we run 'out of 
memory'. We work around that bug in setting the <max-threads> value to an 
unreasonable high number. We would like to eliminate this problem. 
 
We checked the jakarta cvs for newer released(!) version of mentioned 
libraries. We found a newer version of excalibur-pool (1.2); 
exclaibur-thread hasn't changed. Additional we downloaded the HEAD version 
of excalibur-pool from your cvs server. After we used the provided 
project.xml (maven) we got an 'excalibur-thread-2.0.jar' (confused, 
because it is cvs HEAD). 

Question:
-----------
1. Is this an known bug?
2. Is 'excalibur-pool-1.2.jar' the recommended version?
3. When is the newer version 'excalibur-pool-2.0.jar' released (no cvs 
HEAD) and provided?
4. Is there any project.xml (including junit) for excalibur-pool-1.2.jar?
5. Some guy told me something about excalibur-pool-1.1.jar, but I can't 
find. Is it recommended?

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Holger

Perhaps :o(  
Maybe the ECM/Fortress gang (Berin, Carsten, Leo ?) can help out here.

It should. Carsten and Leo Sutic worked hard to make that release a few months 
ago, since a fair number of patches had been applied to the CVS over a full 
year.

That should be a matter of weeks. 2.0 has very few code changes and are 
centered around removal of deprecated stuff, different structure and have

Yes, in the CVS module avalon-excalibur/pool

1.2 has a couple of patches in it from 1.1. Whether 1.1 and/or 1.2 contains 
the fix for what you are experiencing is beyond my knowledge.
