GORDON: [ambitiously hacking] I'd like to have two settings in Hunchentoot to control the maximum number of worker threads, and how many connections are accepted (and queued) for processing when the maximum is exceeded. If the maximum is exceeded, new connection attempts should be refused. This is analogous to Tomcat's maxThreads and acceptCount settings. It could be implemented by a pool of worker threads. Is this a concept that anybody has experimented yet with current version of Hunchentoot? Are there any thoughts about how a thread pool should work, especially the coordination (or division of responsibility) between ACCEPTOR and TASKMASTER objects? Any portability concerns?
thanks, -Gordon
