[Springnet-developer] Spring.Threading

[Federico S. <f.s...@ma...>]

I was reviewing what I've added to Spring.Threading for my windows 
service implementation and I was trying to make sense of it before 
committing.

For now I was thinking at the following feature list for Spring.Threading:
- Channels: provide Doug Lea Channel implementations and augment with an 
implementation that can be used with remoting to allow processes to 
comunicate asynchronously via remoting;
- while I'd prefer to resist to offer another thread pool 
implementation, I'd like to have an execution framework along the lines 
of http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/WorkQueueThreading.asp (already 
mentioned) to allow better exception handling and possibly thread 
cancellation;
- a bridge between IRunnable and delegates to allow more classic style 
.NET threading programming;
- java like Future-related primitives while probably using IAsyncResult;

Thought?

I'm considering committing all the stuff I have in Spring.Threading even 
if it could be considered non stable (more from an API view point ...)
