How to change the JBoss EAP 7 ServerService Thread Pool size

Solution Unverified - Updated

Environment

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.3

Issue

  • JBoss EAP 7.3 hanging during startup due to large number of deployments and ServerService Thread Pool is maxed out at 1024

Resolution

Setting this system property will start the Server Service Thread Pool to be unbounded:

-Djboss.threads.eqe.disable=true

In JBoss EAP 7.3 Update 9+ / JBoss EAP 7.4 Update 1+ , these system properties can be used to change the core and max thread size for the Server Service Thread Pool:

-Dorg.jboss.as.server-service.core.threads=500
-Dorg.jboss.as.server-service.max.threads=2048
