Qt - QTcpServer using QThreadPool (The way to go of making a server)

Information

Classes:

MyServer, with Base class QTcpServer

MyRunnable (this is a QRunnable task), with Base class QRunnable. (With no QObject, cause it's not a QObject)

main.cpp

#include <QThread>
#include "myserver.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
  
  MyServer server;
  server.StartServer();
  
  return a.exec();
}

myrunnable.cpp

#include "myrunnable.h"

MyRunnable::MyRunnable()
{
}

void MyRunnable::run()
{
  if (!socketDescriptor)
    return;
    
  QtcpSocket socket;
  socket.setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor);
  
  socket.write("hello world");
  socket.flush();
  socket.waitForBytesWritten();
  socket.close();
}

myrunnable.h

#include <QRunnable>
#include <QTcpSocket>

class MyRunnable : public QRunnable
{
  Q_OBJECT

  public:
    MyRunnable();
    int socketDescriptor;

  protected:
    void run();     //This is not a thread. This is a task executed on a thread, in a threadpool

  signals:

  public slots:

};

myserver.cpp

#include "myserver.h"

MyServer::MyServer(QObject *parent):
  QTcpServer(parent)
{
  //Create a threadpool
  pool = new QThreadPool(this);
  
  //How many threads I want at any given time
  //If there are more connections, they will be qued until a threads is closed
  pool->setMaxThreadCount(5);   // ex. 5 threads
}


void MyServer::StartServer()
{
  if (!this->listen(QHostAddress::Any, 1234))
  {
    QMessageBox::critical(this, tr("Server"),
                                          tr("Unable to start the server: %1.")
                                          .arg(this->errorString()));
  }
  else
  {
    //Server is now listening..
  }
}


void MyServer::incomingConnection(int handle)       //Handle incoming connections
{
  MyRunnable *task = new MyRunnable();
  task->setAutoDelete(true);                        //Delete that object when you're done (instead of using signals and slots)
  
  task->socketDescriptor = handle;
  
  pool->start(task);                               //Uses a QRunnable object
}

myserver.h

#include <QTcpServer>
#include <QThreadPool>
#include "myrunnable.h"

class MyServer : public QTcpServer
{
  Q_OBJECT

  public:
    explicit MyServer(QObject *parent=0);

    //Starts the server
    void StartServer();

  protected:
    void incomingConnection(int handle);    //handle is the socket descriptor

  private:
    QThreadPool *pool;

  signals:

  public slots:

};

This will auto disconnect from every client that connects to it. Every client that connects will get the 'Hello World" message and then get disconnected.

It would be great if the QRunnable would maintain a connection to the client until the client says he wants to close it.

Are you sure?
QRunnable is not inherited from QObject.
