JBoss 7.1 and Thread Pools

[gboro54]

Is there a way to create a thread pool in JBoss 7.1 and have an application utilize those threads? At the moment I have utilzing the ExecutorService with a class that implements runnable but believe it would be ideal if I could setup and utilize threads managed by the container.

The "threads" subsystem is currently available which you can explore via docs/schema/jboss-as-threads_1_1.xsd.  That said, the documentation indicates that this subsystem is deprecated.  I'm not clear on why the threads subsystem is deprecated.  Perhaps someone else on the board can comment on that aspect.

About the threads subsystem deprecation - what I have read threads had their own subsytem but since the 7.0.0 release, the individual subsystems that use thread pools manage their own thread configuration.

I am assuming if that is the case, JBoss now wants you to manage your own threads and configurations...
