Spring 3 setting ThreadFactory for ThreadPoolTaskExecutor

Is this possible or is it managed by the Application Server? Passing the ThreadPoolTaskExecutor ref to a bean is a no-brainer but trying to set the threadfactory on the aforementioned executor seems to have no effect ...

Hi every one here is my code:

ThreadPoolExecutor for running AbortableHttpRequest - how to call abort?

I'm running a networking service in android where I direct all my http requests to run and get callbacks from the service when the requests are complete. I run the requests in a ThreadPoolExecutor to limit the number of concurrent requests. As the requests run within the pool, they eventually create an HttpGet or HttpPost, both of which indirectly implement AbortableHttpRequest , which allows one to cancel the connection (say, if it's blocking for a long time).
