Interface RuntimeThreadProvider

@Contract
public interface RuntimeThreadProvider

An extension contract for providing pluggable thread factory providers that produce thread factories used by Jersey runtime whenever a new thread factory is needed to create Jersey runtime threads.

This mechanism allows Jersey to run in environments that have specific thread management and provisioning requirements, such as application servers etc. Dedicated Jersey extension modules or applications running in such environment may provide a custom implementation of the RuntimeThreadProvider interface to customize the Jersey runtime thread management & provisioning strategy to comply with the threading requirements, models and policies specific to each particular environment.

Note that only a single thread factory provider can be registered in each application.
