Finding current Thread Id with JRuby on Rails

Question

I am using Rails3 with Puma on JRuby 1.7 with threaded mode ( config.threadsafe!) enabled.

Now as the theory goes: For multiple client requests which come in, a new thread will be used to serve the user rather than a new rails process being started every time.

If I want to find the id of this new request thread, how can I do so?

Answer 1

for this purpose, you will find following methods useful:

Thread.current to gets the of thread which is currently being executed

#<Thread:0x8301ef4 run>

Thread.list to get an array of Thread objects for all threads that are either runnable or stopped.

[
    [0] #<Thread:0x8301ef4 run>
]

Hope it helps
