Accessing ManagedThreadFactory via @Resource and JNDI

[zeus3324]

Hi, I am trying to access a ManagedThreadFactory using @Resource. Here is what I have:

@Stateless
public class ReportBean {

    @Resource(name="myManagedThreadFactory")
    private ManagedThreadFactory threadFactory;

    public void runReports() {
         ReportTask reportTask = new ReportTask();
         Thread thread = threadFactory.newThread(reportTask);
         thread.start();
    }
}

And in the standalone.xml within the ee subsystem:

<concurrent>
    <default-context-service/>
    <default-managed-thread-factory/>
    <default-managed-executor-service hung-task-threshold="60000" core-threads="5" max-threads="25" keepalive-time="5000"/>
    <default-managed-scheduled-executor-service hung-task-threshold="60000" core-threads="2" keepalive-time="3000"/>
    <managed-thread-factories>
        <managed-thread-factory name="myManagedThreadFactory" priority="1"/>
    </managed-thread-factories>
</concurrent>

I have tried all sorts of variations including these below, but I can't get it to inject my managed thread factory defined above.

@Resource(lookup="myManagedThreadFactory")
@Resource(name="java:comp/myManagedThreadFactory")
@Resource(lookup="java:global/myManagedThreadFactory")

I actually thought that this was working but realised that if an invalid name attribute is passed through to @Resource, then the default ManagedThreadFactory is used, with out any errors being displayed. Is this the correct behaviour? What do I need to do to inject my own ManagedThreadFactory.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Just to add further, I can confirm that this below correctly injects the default ManagedThreadFactory.

@Resource(lookup="java:comp/DefaultManagedThreadFactory")

private ManagedThreadFactory threadFactory;

Also, in GlassFish you can specify the JNDI name for any concurrent resource as follows.

<managed-thread-factory jndi-name="MyManagedThreadFactory" thread-priority="1"></managed-thread-factory>

Surely we can also do this in Wildfly, or is this still to be developed?

Awesome, just pulled the latest code, and jndi-name attribute has been added.
