Naming Netty IO threads

[nraych...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using the following code in to create NioClientSocketFactory...

 new NioClientSocketChannelFactory(
            Executors.newCachedThreadPool(new NamedThreadFactory("My IO Boss")),
            Executors.newCachedThreadPool(new NamedThreadFactory("My IO Worker")))

But when I fire my profiler to check all the threads in my application I see them as New I/O worker #<some number>. I would assume the NioClientSocketChannelFactory will use the appropiate NamedThreadFactory to name the threads. Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks in advance

Use the ThreadNameDeterminer

http://netty.io/3.9/api/org/jboss/netty/util/ThreadRenamingRunnable.html#setThreadNameDeterminer(org.jboss.netty.util.ThreadNameDeterminer)

Thanks for the quick response Norman. I did see that but I am not sure whether this fixes my problem. The reason I was looking for renaming my netty worker threads because in my app I have 3 different netty thread pool coming from 3 different libraries. The ThreadRenamingRunnable is static so anything I do would apply for all the netty pools. How can I differentiate between different pools?

I am curious why Netty is not using the name set by ThreadFactory?

You can also pass the ThreadNameDeterminer into NioWorkerPool / NioBossPool.

We now use the name set in ThreadFactory in Netty 4, but will not change in Netty 3 because of backward compatibility.
