Naming a Process?

Hi

While porting the AJP adaptor to GemStone I stumbled upon the fact
that I can't name processes in GemStone. I want to name the AJP
acceptor thread 'AJP acceptor thread' and the worker threads 'AJP
worker thread i'. I find this functionality quite useful in
Pharo/Squeak.

Cheers
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but you can name the process of a gem:

System _cacheName: 'the name'

But probably you want to name Smalltalk threads inside a gem rather than the gem itself?

Yes, exactly.

Good idea ... I've added a feature request... I assume that this is as much a tools issue as a naming issue?
