I was wondering two things
1) Is it an option to use the Apache Commons Thread Pool? It is stable, widely used
and highly configurable.
2) Why the HardResourceLimiting? The current implementation throws an exception when
the limit is reached, causing mail to be refused. I would like to be able to configure
my thread pool so it blocks (with a time-out) until a new thread is available, so more
mail will be accepted when the load is high.
Cheers,
Hes.

Only partially. To quote you from about 5 minutes ago, " The cornerstone
components (in most cases) handle the adaptation between the Phoenix/Merlin
component model and the Excalibur utilities." In this case,
ResourceLimitingThreadPool is in Excalibur, but the installable component,
ResourceLimitingThreadManger, is a Cornerstone block.
The docs for the pool are at
http://excalibur.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/avalon/excalibur/thread/impl/
ResourceLimitingThreadPool.html, but I cannot find the active Cornerstone
docs. For that matter, I am having trouble finding the active Cornerstone
sources. Where are they other than in the cvs-migration-snapshot
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/avalon/cvs-migration-snapshot/avalon-compon
ents/cornerstone/threads/impl/src/java/org/apache/avalon/cornerstone/blocks/
threads/)?

I doubt it. The default code doesn't implement hard limits on resource
usage, which is what we want. So although it might appear to be working
properly, it isn't behaving as we want.

Not unless they have taken over Cornerstone, too.
