After posting my question to Tomcat users mailing list I realized that I should have posted my question to this mailing list. Hence this email.
Some of the information is already mentioned in my previous email which I sent to Tomcat users mailing list. Basically I am trying to figure out what is the proper way to do multi threading in a servlet container like tomcat. Java EE spec mentions that it should be done using JSR 236 api but I am unable to find a way to do so as it seems that available implementations for this JSR have dependency on EJB api. So if JSR 236 is for doing multi threading in an application server then what is/are the options for servlet containers like tomcat? - Shailendra From: shailendra...@outlook.com To: us...@tomcat.apache.org Subject: RE: JSR 236 with tomcat 8 Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 05:53:46 +0000 JSR 236 seems to be only way to create managed threads in Java EE servlet/ejb containers. I am working on a framework (piston - http://github.com/koyadume/piston-master) which I am supporting on tomcat only. Since this framework is based on Java EE 7, I can't use TomEE at this moment. I would like to split some tasks in multiple parallel tasks in my framework. As it is advised not to create own threads in a Java EE servlet/containers, I would like to avoid using Java SE concurrency utilities to solve this issue. This is the issue which JSR 236 tries to solve. Hopefully this makes my intention clear. > Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 22:36:55 -0500 > Subject: Re: JSR 236 with tomcat 8 > From: john.d.am...@gmail.com > To: us...@tomcat.apache.org > > Concurrency utils is specific to app servers, where applications are > generally unable to create or manage threads.
