Tomcat's thread pools used to be on a connector basis, so each had to be sized for the maximum load expected on the server. Having a single executor shared by some connectors provides a more consistent way of tuning the server as a whole, while still allowing an individual thread pool for any connector that requires it. To second Chris' comment: sharing a thread pool between Tomcat and the dedicated needs of your webapp is just asking for trouble. Don't try to force commonality on things that are unrelated, especially when it's so easy not to. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
