Thanks for your response Ronald! Won't a filter be a part of the thread pool? I mean every incoming request would create a new thread and filter would be invoked on this new thread ...right?
The solution that I am looking for is to partition the thread pool into 2 parts One that serves the webpage requests and the other that is allocated to the internal processing of the web application. Thanks!

The problem I am facing is that when my application gets a lot of webservice requests, it reaches the limit of "maxThreads". After this limit is reached I am not able to open the webpage for my web application. Is there any way to configure my web application such that I have a separate quota of threads for webpage access and a separate quota for other types of accesses like webservice requests? Thanks!
