Hi William, Thanks for your reply.
Maybe I didn't describe my question clearly. >From seda spec, it says "As for the difference between the two (Concurrent consumers and thread pool), note a thread pool can increase/shrink dynamically at runtime depending on load, whereas the number of concurrent consumers is always fixed." and we can use "from("seda:stageName").thread(5).process(...)" to configure the thread pool for seda via DSL, so I think using DSL can make seda threads number increase/shrink dynamically, which means it doesn't have to always be 5 concurrent consumers. However, if you use xml, I only we can configure concurrentConsumers which has fixed number threads (e.g. always 5 concurrent consumers), but I don't know how to make the same effect using xml as DSL "from("seda:stageName").thread(5).process(...)". Can someone shed some light on this? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Add-thread-pool-configuration-for-SEDA-using-xml-tp5716324p5716536.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
