SM> Can this session be shared among multiple threads at the same time?
The GenericKeyedObjectPool API supports the behavior of borrowing and returning objects: borrowObject(Object key) returnObject(Object key, Object obj) This means that one thread would borrow the SFTP session/client object, perform it's work, and then return it to the pool. The 'borrow' would indicate that the object usage would be exclusive to the borrower-thread until it is returned. JC> Perhaps you'd be more interested in a "cache" rather than a "pool"? If the intention is to share an SFTP session/client reference between threads, check-in and check-out could be important. Although I do not know the use-case, I would imagine that each SFTP session would likely need to be borrowed from the pool exclusively for some set of FTP-commands and then returned once the intended set of steps had been completed. Otherwise, the various threads might issue commands to the session/client that would interrupt each other. Because GenericKeyedObjectPool supports exclusivity, testing idle, idle object evictor, and ensuring a minimum number of idle objects, it would be ideal for maintaining a connection to an SFTP server, where a simple cache could eventually be holding onto stale objects or clients having closed connections. - MDH On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 3:21 PM, James Carman <ja...@carmanconsulting.com> wrote: > Perhaps you'd be more interested in a "cache" rather than a "pool"? > > On Tue, Feb 3, 2015 at 3:20 PM, Syed Mudassir <syed.mudas...@gaiatv.in> > wrote: > >> Guys, >> I have a question. >> I am using GenericKeyedObjectPool for pooling SFTP sessions.
