@Repeatable(value=ManagedThreadFactoryDefinition.List.class)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface ManagedThreadFactoryDefinition

Defines a ManagedThreadFactory to be registered in JNDI by the container under the JNDI name that is specified in the name() attribute.

Application components can refer to this JNDI name in the lookup attribute of a Resource annotation,

  @ManagedThreadFactoryDefinition(
     name = "java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactory",
     context = "java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactoryContext",
     priority = 4)
  @ContextServiceDefinition(
     name = "java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactoryContext",
     propagated = APPLICATION)
  public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
     @Resource(lookup = "java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactory",
               name = "java:module/concurrent/env/MyThreadFactoryRef")
     ManagedThreadFactory myThreadFactory;
 

Resource environment references in a deployment descriptor can similarly specify the lookup-name,

 <resource-env-ref>
    <resource-env-ref-name>java:module/env/concurrent/MyThreadFactoryRef</resource-env-ref-name>
    <resource-env-ref-type>jakarta.enterprise.concurrent.ManagedThreadFactory</resource-env-ref-type>
    <lookup-name>java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactory</lookup-name>
 </resource-env-ref>
 

You can also define a ManagedThreadFactory with the <managed-thread-factory> deployment descriptor element. For example,

 <managed-thread-factory>
    <name>java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactory</name>
    <context-service-ref>java:global/concurrent/MyThreadFactoryContext</context-service-ref>
    <priority>4</priority>
 </managed-thread-factory>
 

If a managed-thread-factory and ManagedThreadFactoryDefinition have the same name, their attributes are merged to define a single ManagedThreadFactory definition, with each attribute that is specified in the managed-thread-factory deployment descriptor entry taking precedence over the corresponding attribute of the annotation.
