Greetings, I'm planning to make a change for fortress rest util connection pooling mechanism. Currently we only used 2 connections for the connection pooling as the default value provided by apache http client library. Apart from the connection pool, i also look that it would be good if we could manage the heap memory management in string using StringUtils.join method.
Since that library used and simplify the StringBuilder mechanism and the most benefit is to maintain the GC time become very minimum. I know from the performance point of view StringBuilder will make a bit slow compare to the concatenation one. However, if we considering the greater good of GC, StringBuilder can reduce the old GC period since the objects will be discarded before it reach old GC because it will not wait until the strong string reference got destroyed. As per my github pull request shawn asked me to put that concern at the mailing list, unfortunatelly i can't find the exact svn at https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/directory/trunks/ for fortress project. Please guide how to commit my code contribution.
