How to add thread pool in Jetty 9.2.24 HttpClient?

In Jetty 9 the setThreadPool method of HttpClient has been removed. Can anyone suggest an alternative way of doing it in Jetty 9?

This is how I used to do in previous versions of Jetty's HttpClient: 

QueuedThreadPool queuedThreadpool= new QueuedThreadPool(5);
queuedThreadpool.setMinThreads(2);
queuedThreadpool.setName("HttpClient");

httpClient.setThreadPool(queuedThreadpool); // <<<<<<
httpClient.start();
Solution

  • Now you need to use setExecutor(executor). A QueuedThreadPool implements the Executor interface.

    QueuedThreadPool queuedThreadpool= new QueuedThreadPool(5);
queuedThreadpool.setMinThreads(2);
queuedThreadpool.setName("HttpClient");

httpClient.setExecutor(queuedThreadpool);
httpClient.start();
