jochen commented on POOL-102:
-----------------------------

Steitz,

It seems the Revision #549729 doesn't work. we met the issue on the HTTP 
threads being response to concurrent 40 users, which made the connection pool 
was exhausted and all of HTTP threads waiting on GenericObjectPool.borrowObject 
happened.

Given the commons pool v2.0 doesn't come out, I got the v1.4 and was pleased to 
see the bug fixes list  -  Allowed blocked threads in GenericObjectPool 
borrowObject to be interrupted. Issue: POOL-102.  But unfortunately it didn't 
fix our issue when I replaced the v1.4 with v1.3.  HTTP threads were still 
waiting for GenericObjectPool.borrowObject.

is it any solution to solve it out or any workaround exists? many thanks.

> There are two problems here:
> 1) a thread waiting forever to get an object out of the pool will NEVER 
> terminate, even if interrupted
> 2) even if you put a "throw e" in, it will still be wrong because the 
> thread's interrupted status is not preserved
> This will cause cancellation problems for threads that are inside 
> borrowObject() that want to terminate early ONLY if they are interrupted.
> For example, if a borrow-and-wait-forever was running on an pooled executor 
> thread in Java 1.5 and the executor service tried to cancel a task and that 
> task had early-termination logic in it that checked interrupted status to 
> terminate early, the task would never be cancelled.
> For us, this is minor because we are on a Tomcat request thread that has to 
> wait for this resource to continue, but for others that have pools of stuff 
> that are being used by time-bound tasks, it's inconvenient to write code that 
> waits for what ends up being arbitrary time periods for a wait.  It would be 
> easier to just say wait forever and allow interruption by someone else who is 
> watching me.
> Suggestion: make the code read like this:
>                             case WHEN_EXHAUSTED_BLOCK:
>                                     try {
>                                         if(_maxWait <= 0) {
>                                             wait();
>                                         } else {
>                                             wait(_maxWait);
>                                         }
>                                     } catch(InterruptedException e) {
>                                         Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
>                                         throw e;
>                                     }
