Hi all,
The latest Java 21 EA build has moved virtual threads (from project
Loom) out of preview. How do we want to handle this in Tomcat 11? Recall
that Jakarta EE 11 has set Java 21 as the minimum version.
I think we have the following options:
1. Stick with Java 17 as the minimum version and don't provide virtual
thread functionality.
2. Stick with Java 17 as the minimum version and provide virtual thread
functionality via the JreCompat module.
3. Increase minimum Java version to Java 21 for Tomcat 11 and provide
virtual thread functionality.
I am currently leaning towards 3 but could live with 2.
Thoughts? Other options?
Mark
PS Option 3 will require updates to the CI systems - I am happy to take
care of those.
PPS I don't think all of the current Loom module will make it into
Tomcat 11. I am currently thinking to pull in the Executor and then
provide a boolean option for the existing endpoints to switch the
internal executor to Loom.
