Feedback requested on throttling ejb calls

[smarlow]

Hi,

I want to allow EJB method invocations to be throttled as a way to reduce concurrency in applications. My first attempt at this is working great (I'm throttling at the PooledInvoker level for remote invocations only). This is intended for session bean level throttling.

Lately, I've been thinking that it might be more appropriate to throttle at the EJB interceptor level instead so that applications can tailor throttling at the ejb container level.

Should I switch to throttling at the interceptor level and should the throttle interceptor code be checked into 4.x or 5.x?

Even more generically this should just be an aop aspect that can be applied to any component. Could even be a generalization of the org.jboss.aspects.asynch.* aspect in the aspect project.

Hi Scott,

Great suggestion, I'll move this topic over to the AOP design forum.

Thanks,
Scott
