Hi I have looked at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-5867
The problem is that when using camel-jetty a jetty http client would always be created, even if people only use the jetty consumer. This leads to the jetty http client setup a thread pool with 8 live threads, running for no good reason. I looked at this, and discovered another issues that the http client would be re-used by all jetty producers. This is not really the intend, as each producer should have its own client by default. And using a shared http client is only for special circumstances. This is what we do in other http component with client support, eg camel-http, camel-http4, camel-ahc etc. So in this light I am deprecating some options in camel-jetty and making sure camel-jetty creates a new http client for each producer. This will fix CAMEL-5867. For the 2.10 and 2.9 branches I would work on a minor fix to keep the current options, by have them @deprecated. -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.
