If you can afford the memory and CPU to create a second thread pool that does the "real work" of your webapp, why not just allocate those same threads in the request processing thread pool? Seems like a wash in terms of thread availability with a significant reduction in overhead of managing multiple thread pools, passing data between them, etc. and trying to work around a problem that really doesn't exist. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuOpC4ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCGXACgkVGoBYzmZwMUPGT9ZE5G8vlD LqEAn1IX6EuxlfY4hPZGO5uJOzbb2gI8 =pvO1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
