That is this setMaxTotal method, which sets this.maxTotal, which is used to compute freeCapacity here. Note this class has the documentation "Please note that this class does not maintain its own pool of execution Threads." and that freeCapacity computation is about connections not threads.
So, I believe this means that :threads should be named something like :max-connections and be documented appropriately.
The
:threadsoption to make-reusable-conn-manager documentation says "Maximum number of threads that will be used for connecting"This is used to call
.setMaxTotalonorg.apache.http.impl.conn.PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager(note the word "threads" is not in that method name; queue suspenseful music)In turn, this calls
this.pool.setMaxTotalThat is this
setMaxTotalmethod, which setsthis.maxTotal, which is used to computefreeCapacityhere. Note this class has the documentation "Please note that this class does not maintain its own pool of execution Threads." and thatfreeCapacitycomputation is about connections not threads.So, I believe this means that
:threadsshould be named something like:max-connectionsand be documented appropriately.
