Using thread-pools managed by the application server (Glassfish)

Question

Is it possible to use directly (explicitly) the thread pools managed by Glassfish (created at Thread Pools -> Configuration). Are those thread pools are accessible via JNDI, or anyhow else?

Use case: monitoring / configuring thread pool executors, backed with the thread pools managed by the app server.

Answer 1

Have a look at the GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor provided by SpringFramework.

GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor taskExecutor = new GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor();
taskExecutor.setThreadPoolName("test_threadpool");
Runnable task = new Runnable() {
  public void run() {
    // do the task
  }
}
taskExecutor.execute(task);
