Hi,

I am running JBoss application server inside a jail on FreeBSD 8.3. 
Since the server has a quad-core processor, it would be efficient if the 
java process (and its threads) could utilize more than 1 CPU core at a 
time, which is not currently the case.

Is it possible to acomplish this (perhaps with the use of a proper 
threading library) or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thank you for your reply,
Jurij
