Hello there,
i m developing server in java. i am using socket programming with thred.
my problem is when i run my server it starts producing thread for each client and once it reached maximum number of thread and it degrades performance of my server making it slower.
so i want to limit my server to produce maximum thread of 100, and then it stop producing new threads. until one of the active thread is stop.
so can any one help me to set maximum thread in my server.
how to set maximum thread for the thread
do java provide any technique for that??

please help me this matter.

You must be creating your threads programmatically in the main thread. In your main thread, don't create new threads once your maximum is hit. Instead, pool them up and wait for an existing thread to become available.

I don't think you need anywhere close to 100 threads, though. Servlet servers like Tomcat by default only create 20 threads for handling requests. So are you sure you're even using existing threads at all? What you want to build is a "thread pool", which the main thread keeps track of. As requests come in, the main thread should pass them off to existing threads that aren't processing current requests.
