How to increase Web Pool to handle more requests in JBoss AS7

Web Pool is important in an Application Server,
if it is not configure properly, the server performance would be affected when huge number of requests coming into the server.

By default, the web pool in JBoss is not created.
Below are the steps to create Web Pool in JBoss

Steps
1. open <JBoss_HOME>/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml

2. find subsystem for "urn:jboss:domain:threads:1.1"

3. add thread factory to the subsystem

<thread-factory name="http-connector-factory" thread-name-pattern="HTTP-%t" priority="9" group-name="uq-thread-pool"/>

4. create an executor in the subsystem

<unbounded-queue-thread-pool name="uq-thread-pool">
    <thread-factory name="http-connector-factory" />
    <max-threads count="10" />
    <keepalive-time time="30" unit="seconds" />
</unbounded-queue-thread-pool>

5. search for connector name="http"

6. bind the executor created in step 3 to the http connector

<connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http" executor="uq-thread-pool" />
