It is only my own experience, but here is my way to set
Thread Pool for several part of Mina in 1.0 :
For SocketAcceptor (or IoAcceptor) :
Executor executor1 = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(nbThread);
SocketAcceptor acceptor = new SocketAcceptor(nbThread, executor1);
My feeling is that it shouldn't be a newCachedThreadPool here since
it seems it is relative to the number of SocketIoProcessors that
the SocketAcceptor will use.
By default (new SocketAcceptor() without arguments), it use
a value of 16 threads and SocketIoProcessors.
For SocketAcceptorConfig (or IoAcceptorConfig), in order to
be able to specify my own Thread Pool Filter:
SockectAccaptorConfig config = new SocketAcceptorConfig();
config.setThreadModel(ThreadModel.MANUAL);
Then for the filter chain (example here is for compression) :
IoFilterChain chain = config.getFilterChain();
Executor executor2 = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
chain.addLast( "compressionPool",
new ExecutorFilter( new ExecutorExecutor( executor2 ) ) );
chain.addLast( "compression", compressionFilter);
And so on for any Filters that could be expensive in cpu...
chain.addLast( "otherPool",
new ExecutorFilter( new ExecutorExecutor(
Executors.newCachedThreadPool() ) ) );
chain.addLast( "other", other);
You can use also newFixedThreadPool instead of
newCachedThreadPool as you want here for FilterChain.
Hope this helps you.
