Setting Thread pool size

          Hi,
          I want to know if I set a system property "-Dweblogic.ThreadPoolSize", how will the
          WLS get to know that the pool size has been changed, at run time?
          E.g. I pass -Dweblogic.ThreadPoolSize=30 from the command-line. Then if I change
          the pool size to 40 at runtime, is there any event that I can fire for the change
          in property through APIs?
          Thnx in advance.
          Best Regards
          Ali

Disregarding what it is for, in my experience, tuning this setting rarely has much effect. For 6.1, the main thread pool related tunables to look at are the EJB thread pools and EJB max-beans... settings, the "default" thread pool, and the internal thread-pool for stand-alone clients -- all of which are mentioned in the performance guide.

JMS Thread Pool Size

Hi,
          I'm using WLS 6.1. The console has a setting for: JMS Thread Pool Size. I wanted to tune the number of threads used by JMS. I thought JMS asynch consumers would use threads in this pool however that doesn't seem to be the case (they all use the default execute threads and queues). Why is this setting available?
          Note the BEA WebLogic JMS Performance Guide talks about tuning this value from version 6.1 up to 8.1 and states "On the server, incoming JMS related requests execute in the JMS execute queue/thread pool."
          Thanks in advance for any responses,
          Mich

Thread Pool Size

What can be the maximum thread pool size used in java.
What happens if i put up a thread pool size in range of 10k or 20k.
how does affect system performance ???
Its quite urgent for me to know. Can someone help out ???
Regards
Hrushi

I'd say it depends on the machine you are running on, amount of memory and number of CPUs and such, not on Java itself. And with that many threads your implementation better be darn good in order not to be the bottleneck...

Change of Min Pool Size has no effect?

Hi, we are still using odp 9.2.0.4 on windows server 2003 webserver and oracle database 9i on Sun solaris. Recently we discovered a problem using Min Pool Size = 1, it seems that if new connections are required we sometimes get a connection timeout. So we decided to set Min Pool Size = 30, and on the testserver this works fine. In the odp tracefile (tracelevel=2) you see the 30 connections building up immediately. But on the production server we see no difference, it looks like the (new installed, application pool reset) application still uses the Min Pool Size = 1 setting.
The connection string is build up in application code. On the testserver it was sufficient to stop and start the website and its application pool, on the production server this has no effect.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is??? We also tried restarting the IIS server, that did not help either. In production there are more applications using ODP.
Regards, Paul.

What problem are you trying to solve at this point? Simply "why is odp not tracing?" The only suggestions I really have there are
1) make sure you restart the app after enabling tracing parameters
2) make sure the directory you've set tracing to is open as far as permissions
3) make sure you've set tracing in the right registry setting if you have multiple versions of ODP installed
4) if you're trying to write to c:\ root, try creating and pointing to a different (c:\odptrace for example) directory instead.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Thread pool in servlet container

Hello all,
I'm working on this webapp that has some bad response times and I've identified an area were we could shave off a considerable amount of time. The app is invoking a component that causes data to be catched for subsequently targeted apps in the environemnt. Our app does not need to wait for a response so I'd like to make this an asyncronous call. So, how best to implement this?...I considered JMS, but started working on a solution using the Java 1.4 backport of JSR 166 (java.util.concurrent).
I've been testing the use of a ThreadPoolExecutor, using an ArrayBlockingQueue. The work that each Runnable will perform involves a lot of waiting (the component we call invokes a web service, among a couple other distributed calls). So I figure the pool will be much larger than the queue. Our container has 35 execute threads, so I've been testing with a thread pool size of 25, and a queue of 10.
Any thoughts on this approach? I understand that some of this work could be simplified by JMS, but if I don't need to be tied to the container, I'd prefer not to. The code if much easier to unit test, and plays nicely with our continious build integration (which runs our junit test for us and notifies on errors).
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated...Thanks!!

Well, if it works, that's by far the best way to go - but note that creating threads in a servlet container means those threads are outside of the container's control. Many containers will refuse to give the new threads access to the JNDI context, even, and some may prevent you from creating threads at all.

Initial and Minimum Pool Size

in j2ee admin console, i set the parameter to 8. I go to oracle and from sql*plus i execute the following command
select * from v$session
However, when i run my sample program I only see a session from my computer. Is it right? or I am supposed to see 8 sessions

Well, that would depend on whether you set initial pool size to 8 or minimum pool size to 8, wouldn't it? All you said was that you set "the parameter" to 8.

How do I set the initial servlet pool size in WL 5.1

 In WL 4.5, I can set the initial servlet pool size using the
 weblogic.httpd.servlet.SingleThreadedModelPoolSize. I tried to set this property in WL 5.1, and get an "Found undeclared property..." message when booting WL. Is this feature still supported in WL 5.1? If so, how do I set it?
 Thankx


It appears that pool size of 5 is hardcoded somewhere - no matter where you specify
 weblogic.httpd.servlet.SingleThreadedModelPoolSize, the following test servlet:
 import javax.servlet.*;
 import javax.servlet.http.*;
 public class SingleT extends HttpServlet implements SingleThreadModel {
 static int instanceCount = 0;
 public SingleT() {
 super();
 System.out.println("Instance " + (++instanceCount) + " created");
 always produces:
 Instance 1 created
 Wed Nov 01 11:15:36 PST 2000: <ServletContext-General> SingleT: init
 Instance 2 created
 Wed Nov 01 11:15:36 PST 2000: <ServletContext-General> SingleT: init
 Instance 3 created
 Wed Nov 01 11:15:36 PST 2000: <ServletContext-General> SingleT: init
 Instance 4 created
 Wed Nov 01 11:15:36 PST 2000: <ServletContext-General> SingleT: init
 Instance 5 created
 Wed Nov 01 11:15:36 PST 2000: <ServletContext-General> SingleT: init

Set maximum session bean pool size?

Using the embedded OC4J, how can I set the maximum pool size for my session beans? I am using Jdeveloper 10g. Do I have to manually edit some XML file?

Set the system property com.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.pool.maxsize
System.setProperty("com.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.pool.maxsize", "25");

Fixed Size Thread Pool which infinitely serve task submitted to it

Hi,
I want to create a fixed size thread pool say of size 100 and i will submit around 200 task to it.
Now i want it to serve them infinitely i.e once all tasks are completed re-do them again and again.
public void start(Vector<String> addresses)
 //Create a Runnable object of each address in "addresses"
 Vector<FindAgentRunnable> runnables = new Vector<FindAgentRunnable>(1,1);
 for (String address : addresses)
 runnables.addElement(new FindAgentRunnable(address));
 //Create a thread pool of size 100
 ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
 //Here i added all the runnables to the thread pool
 for(FindAgentRunnable runnable : runnables)
 pool.submit(runnable);
 pool.shutdown();
}Now i wants that this thread pool execute the task infinitely i.e once all the tasks are done then restart all the tasks again.
I have also tried to add then again and again but it throws a java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException
public void start(Vector<String> addresses)
 //Create a Runnable object of each address in "addresses"
 Vector<FindAgentRunnable> runnables = new Vector<FindAgentRunnable>(1,1);
 for (String address : addresses)
 runnables.addElement(new FindAgentRunnable(address));
 //Create a thread pool of size 100
 ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(100);
 for(;;)
 for(FindAgentRunnable runnable : runnables)
 pool.submit(runnable);

Fixed size thread pool excepting more tasks then it should

Hello,
I have the following code in a simple program (code below)
 BlockingQueue<Runnable> q = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Runnable>(10, false);
 ThreadPoolExecutor newPool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(1, 10, 20, TimeUnit.SECONDS, q);
for (int x = 0; x < 30; x++) {
newPool.execute(new threaded());
My understanding is that this should create a thread pool that will accept 10 tasks, once there have been 10 tasks submitted I should get RejectedExecutionException, however; I am seeing that when I execute the code the pool accepts 20 execute calls before throwing RejectedExecutionException. I am on Windows 7 using Java 1.6.0_21
Any thoughts on what I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class ThreadPoolTest {

 rejected++;
 System.out.println("\n\nSubmitted: " + MAX*2);
 System.out.println("Accepted: " + submitted);
 System.out.println("Rejected: " + rejected);
}

I don't know what is wrong because I tried this
public static void main(String args[]) {
 BlockingQueue<Runnable> q = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Runnable>(10, false);
 ThreadPoolExecutor newPool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(1, 10, 20, TimeUnit.SECONDS, q);
 for (int x = 0; x < 100; x++) {
 System.err.println(x + ": " + q.size());
 newPool.submit(new Callable<Void>() {
 @Override

 return null;
}and it printed

Guidelines for setting Application Module Pool Size Parameters?

Are there guidelines for setting the application module pool size parameters, such as initial pool size, maximum pool size, etc., based on the expected number of users or other factors? I've read the developer guide sections (ch 28-29), but still don't have a good feel for how to correctly set the optimal values for the pool configuration parameters? Even more importanty, how do I monitor the pool's efficiency during runtime to determine if the pooling parameters are configured correctly?
This will be critical to performance and scalability, so I'm looking for a way to get some visibility into how the pooling is working during production operation to assess whether there are bottlenecks/constraints/ineffeciencies?
Note I am using Tomcat as the java runtime container; ADF BC / JSF jdev 10.1.3.1
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

KUBA - were you able to resolve these issues and if so are there any lessons learned you can share?
I'm hoping someone from the ADF team can answer our original question including guidelines for setting pool parameters and how to monitor the pool's performance while running in production.
thanks

Setting max bean pool size in MDB

Hi,
I need to set the max bean pool size for my MDB to 1. This MDB is a part of my application and is packaged in an ear.
I tried to set it with the following annotation -
import javax.ejb.*;
@MessageDriven
(mappedName = "MyQueue",
name = "MyMDB",
activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="maxBeansInFreePool",
propertyValue="1"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="initialBeansInFreePool",
propertyValue="1"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue")
However, this does not seem to work since I see the Current pool count on the WLS console as 3 after processing is done.
After looking at various posts in this forum, I also tried it with weblogic ejbgen as follows-
import weblogic.ejbgen.*;
@MessageDriven(ejbName = "MyMDB",
destinationType = "javax.jms.Queue",
initialBeansInFreePool = "1",
maxBeansInFreePool = "1",
destinationJndiName = "MyQueue")
However, with this the MDB did not get deployed in WLS.
I am using Weblogic 10.3 / EJB 3.0.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Meera

As far as I know, it currently isn't possible to set max-beans-in-free-pool via annotations. You can use a deployment plan (configurable from console and/or follow the link supplied by atheek1).
I think you can also automatically generate descriptors based on javadoc text via ejb-gen, I'm not quite sure if this tooling can work in conjunction with EJB 3.0 annotations. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/ejb/EJBGen_reference.html

How to correctly use a fixed size thread pool?

I am quite new to using concurrency in Java, so please forgive if this is a trivial question.
I would like to make use of something like pool=Executors.newFixedThreadPool(n) to automatically use a fixed number of threads to process pieces of work. I understand that I can asynchronously run some Runnable by one of the threads in the threadpool using pool.execute(someRunnable).
My problem is this: I have some fixed amount of N datastructures myDS (which are not reentrant or sharable) that get initialized at program start and which are needed by the runnables to do the work. So, what I really would like to do is that I not only reuse N threads but also N of these datastructures to do the work.
So, lets say I want to have 10 threads, then I would want to create 10 myDS objects once and for all. Each time some work comes in, I want that work to get processed by the next free thread, using the next free datastructure. What I was wondering is if there is something in the library that lets me do the resusing of threads AND datastructures as simply as just reusing a pool of threads. Ideally, each thread would get associated with one datastructure somehow.
Currently I use an approach where I create 10 Runnable worker objects, each with its own copy of myDS. Those worker objects get stored in an ArrayBlockingQueue of size 10. Each time some work comes in, I get the next Runner from the queue, pass it the piece of work and submit it to the thread pool.
The tricky part is how to get the worker object back into the Queue: currently I essentially do queue.put(this) at the very end of each Runnable's run method but I am not sure if that is safe or how to do it safely.
What are the standard patterns and library classes to use for solving this problem correctly?

Thank you for that feedback!
There is one issue that worries me though and I obviously do not understand it enough: as I said I hand back the Runnable to the blocking queue at the end of the Runnable.run method using queue.put(this). This is done via a static method from the main class that creates the threads and runnable objects in a main method. Originally I tried to make that method for putting back the Runnable objects serialized but that inevitably always led to a deadlock or hang condition: the method for putting back the runnable was never actually run. So I ended up doing this without serializing the put action in any way and so far it seems to work ... but is this safe?
To reiterate: I have a static class that creates a thread pool object and a ArrayBlockingQueue queue object of runnable objects. In a loop I use queue.take() to get the next free runnable object, and pass this runnable to pool.execute. Inside the runnable, in method run, i use staticclass.putBack(this) which in turn does queue.put(therunnableigot). Can I trust that this queue.put operation, which can happen from several threads at the same time works without problem without serializing it explicitly? And why would making the staticclass.putBack method serialized cause a hang? I also tried to serialize using the queue object itself instead of the static class, by doing serialize(queue) { queue.put(therunnable) } but that also caused a hang. I have to admit that I do not understand at all why that hang occurred and if I need the serialization here or not.

JRun Thread Pool Issue

I'm running CF 9.0.1 on Ubuntu on an "Medium" Amazon EC2 instance. CF has been crashing intermittently (several times per day). At such times, running top gets me this (or something similar):
PID
USER
PR
NI
VIRT

13:22.96 coldfusion9
So, it's obviously consuming most of the server resources. The following error has been showing up in my cfserver.log in the leadup to each crash:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Request timed out waiting for an available thread to run. You may want to consider increasing the number of active threads in the thread pool.
If I run /opt/coldfusion9/bin/coldfusion status, I get:
Pg/Sec DB/Sec CP/Sec Reqs Reqs Reqs AvgQ AvgReq AvgDB Bytes Bytes
Now Hi Now Hi Now Hi Q'ed Run'g TO'ed Time Time Time In/Sec Out/Sec
0 0 0 0 -1 -1 150 25 0 0 -1352560 0 0
In the administrator, under Server Settings > Request Tuning, the setting for Maximum number of simultaneous Template requests is 25. So this makes sense so far. I could just increase the thread pool to cover these sort of load spikes. I could make it 200. (Which I did just now as a test.)
However, there's also this file /opt/coldfusion9/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/jrun.xml. And some of the settings in there appear to conflict. For example, it reads:
<service class="jrunx.scheduler.SchedulerService" name="SchedulerService">
<attribute name="bindToJNDI">true</attribute>
<attribute name="activeHandlerThreads">25</attribute>
<attribute name="maxHandlerThreads">1000</attribute>
<attribute name="minHandlerThreads">20</attribute>
<attribute name="threadWaitTimeout">180</attribute>
<attribute name="timeout">600</attribute>
</service>
Which a) has fewer active threads (what does this mean?), and b) has a max threads that exceed the simultaneous request limit set in the admin. So, I'm not sure. Are these independent configs that need to be made to match manually? Or is the jrun.xml file supposed to be written by the CF Admin when changes are made there? Hmm. But maybe this is different because presumably the CF Scheduler should only use a subset of all available threads, right...so we'd always have some threads for real live users. We also have this in there:
<service class="jrun.servlet.http.WebService" name="WebService">
<attribute name="port">8500</attribute>
<attribute name="interface">*</attribute>
<attribute name="deactivated">true</attribute>
<attribute name="activeHandlerThreads">200</attribute>
<attribute name="minHandlerThreads">1</attribute>
<attribute name="maxHandlerThreads">1000</attribute>
<attribute name="mapCheck">0</attribute>
<attribute name="threadWaitTimeout">300</attribute>
<attribute name="backlog">500</attribute>
<attribute name="timeout">300</attribute>
</service>
This appears to have changed when I changed the CF Admin setting...maybe...but it's the activeHandlerThreads that matches my new maximum simulataneous requests setting...rather than the maxHandlerThreads, which again exceeds it. Finally, we have this:
<service class="jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService" name="ProxyService">
<attribute name="activeHandlerThreads">200</attribute>
<attribute name="minHandlerThreads">1</attribute>
<attribute name="maxHandlerThreads">1000</attribute>
<attribute name="mapCheck">0</attribute>
<attribute name="threadWaitTimeout">300</attribute>
<attribute name="backlog">500</attribute>
<attribute name="deactivated">false</attribute>
<attribute name="interface">*</attribute>
<attribute name="port">51800</attribute>
<attribute name="timeout">300</attribute>
<attribute name="cacheRealPath">true</attribute>
</service>
So, I'm not certain which (if any) of these I should change and what exactly the relationship is between maximum requests and maximum threads. Also, since several of these list the maxHandlerThreads as 1000, I'm wondering if I should just set the maximum simultaneous requests to 1000. There must be some upper limit that depends on available server resources...but I'm not sure what it is and I don't really want to play around with it since it's a production environment.
I'm not sure if it pertains to this issue at all, but when I run a ps aux | grep coldfusion I get the following:
wwwrun 15853 0.0 0.0 8704 760 pts/1
S
20:22 0:00 /opt/coldfusion9/runtime/bin/coldfusion9 -jar jrun.jar -autorestart -start coldfusion

Sl
20:22 1:38 /opt/coldfusion9/runtime/bin/coldfusion9 -jar jrun.jar -start coldfusion
There are always these two and never more than these two processes. So there does not appear to be a one-to-one relationship between processes and threads. I recall from an MX 6.1 install I maintained for many years that additional CF processes were visible in the process list. It seemed to me at the time like I had a process for each thread...so either I was wrong or something is quite different in version 9 since it's reporting 25 running requests and only showing these two processes. If a single process can have multiple threads in the background, then I'm given to wonder why I have two processes instead of one...just curious.
So, anyway, I've been experimenting while composing this post. As noted above I adjusted the maximum simulataneous requests up to 200. I was hoping this would solve my problem, but CF just crashed again (rather it slogged down and requests started timing out...so effectively "crashed"). This time, top looked similar (still consuming more than 99% of the CPU), but CF status looked different:
Pg/Sec DB/Sec CP/Sec Reqs Reqs Reqs AvgQ AvgReq AvgDB Bytes Bytes
Now Hi Now Hi Now Hi Q'ed Run'g TO'ed Time Time Time In/Sec Out/Sec
0 0 0 0 -1 -1 0 150 0 0 0 0 0 0
Obviously, since I'd increased the maximum simultaneous requests, it was allowing more requests to run simultaneously...but it was still maxing out the server resources.
Further experiments (after restarting CF) showed me that the server became unusably slogged after about 30-35 "Reqs Run'g", with all additional requests headed for an inevitible timeout:
Pg/Sec DB/Sec CP/Sec Reqs Reqs Reqs AvgQ AvgReq AvgDB Bytes Bytes
Now Hi Now Hi Now Hi Q'ed Run'g TO'ed Time Time Time In/Sec Out/Sec
0 0 0 0 -1 -1 0 33 0 0 -492 0 0 0
So, it's clear that increasing the maximum simultaneous requests has not helped. I guess what it comes down to is this: What is it having such a hard time with? Where are these spikes coming from? Bursts of traffic? On what pages? What requests are running at any given time? I guess I simply need more information to continue troubleshooting. If there are long-running requests, or other issues, I'm not seeing it in the logs (although I do have that option checked in the admin). I need to know which requests exactly are those responsible for these spikes. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I really appreciate your help. However, I haven't been able to find the JRun Thread settings you describe above.
Under Request Tuning, I see:
Server Settings > Request Tuning
Request Limits
Maximum number of simultaneous Template requests
Restricts the number of simultaneously processed requests. Use this setting to increase overall system performance for heavy load applications. Requests beyond the specified limit are queued. On Standard Edition, you must restart ColdFusion to enable this setting.
Maximum number of simultaneous Flash Remoting requests
The number of Flash Remoting requests that can be processed concurrently.
Maximum number of simultaneous Web Service requests
The number of Web Service requests that can be processed concurrently.
Maximum number of simultaneous CFC function requests
The number of ColdFusion Component methods that can be processed concurrently via HTTP. This does not affect invocation of CFC methods from within CFML, only methods requested via an HTTP request.
Tag Limit Settings
Maximum number of simultaneous Report threads
The maximum number of ColdFusion reports that can be processed concurrently.
Maximum number of threads available for CFTHREAD
The maximum number of threads created by CFTHREAD that will be run concurrently. Threads created by CFTHREAD in excess of this are queued. On Standard Edition, the maximum limit is 10.
And under Java and JVM, I see:
Server Settings > Java and JVM
 Java and JVM settings control the way ColdFusion starts the Java Virtual Machine when it starts. You can control settings like what classpaths are used and how memory is allocated as well as add custom command line arguments. Changing these settings requires restarting ColdFusion. If you enter an incorrect setting, ColdFusion may not restart properly.
 Backups of the jvm.config file are created when you hit the submit button. You can use this backup to restore from a critical change.
 Java Virtual Machine Path
Specifies the location of the Java Virtual Machine.
 Minimum JVM Heap Size (MB) Maximum JVM Heap Size (MB)
 The Memory Size settings determine the amount of memory that the JVM can use for programs and data.
 ColdFusion Class Path
Specifies any additional class paths for the JVM, with multiple directories separated by commas.
 JVM Arguments
-server -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib
Specifies any specific JVM initialization options, separated by spaces.
I did go take a look at FusionReactor and found it's not free (which would be fine, of course, if it would actually help). It looks like there's a fully functional demo, which is cool...but I've haven't been able to get it to install yet, so we'll see.
Thanks again!
