cl-tbnl-gserver-tmgr

Hunchentoot cl-gserver based taskmanager (experimental)

Usage

Create an accessor using this taskmanager like so:

(let ((acceptor (make-instance 'tbnl:easy-acceptor
                                 :port 4242
                                 :taskmaster (make-instance 'cl-tbnl-gserver-tmgr.tmgr:gserver-tmgr
                                                            :max-thread-count 8))))
  (tbnl:start acceptor))

With :max-thread-count you can control how many request processing actors (like thread-pool) should be spawned.
