I think you're now surpised. The minSpareThreads name looks like a carry-over from the old pooling mechanism, which has been replaced by java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor from the JRE. The corresponding parameter in that class is named corePoolSize - probably a more appropriate term. Obtaining a thread from the pool (and thereby triggering creation) does not occur until a request arrives at the connector. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
