# Application: Configuration: Workload

Configuration Options Related Tasks Related Topics

J2EE enterprise applications, Web Application modules, EJBs, and RMI applications can specify named work managers for use for managing their work requests. This page lists the work managers, request classes, and constraints associated with this Enterprise application.

A Work Manager defines a set of request classes and thread constraints that manage work performed by WebLogic Servers. A request class defines a fair share thread entitlement, a response time goals, or a context policy for a particular class of application request. Thread constraints define the maximum number of threads to allocate for requests, the minimum number of threads to use for resolving deadlocks, and the total number of requests that can be queued or running before WebLogic Server begins rejecting requests.

To associate a global work manager to an Enterprise application, you must update the `weblogic-application.xml` deployment descriptor file by adding a `<dispatch-policy>` element. After you redeploy the application, the work manager will be listed in this table.
