Field Details

DEFAULT_PHASE

public static final int DEFAULT_PHASE

The default phase for an executor SmartLifecycle: Integer.MAX_VALUE / 2.

This is different from the default phase Integer.MAX_VALUE associated with other SmartLifecycle implementations, putting the typically auto-started executor/scheduler beans into an earlier startup phase and a later shutdown phase while still leaving room for regular Lifecycle components with the common phase 0.

6.2

ExecutorConfigurationSupport

public ExecutorConfigurationSupport()

Method Details

setVirtualThreads

public void setVirtualThreads(boolean virtualThreads)

Specify whether to use virtual threads instead of platform threads. This is off by default, setting up a traditional platform thread pool.

Set this flag to true on Java 21 or higher for a tightly managed thread pool setup with virtual threads. In contrast to SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor, this is integrated with Spring's lifecycle management for stopping and restarting execution threads, including an early stop signal for a graceful shutdown arrangement.

Specify either this or setThreadFactory(java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory), not both.

Since:

6.2

See Also:

• setThreadFactory(java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory)
• VirtualThreadTaskExecutor.getVirtualThreadFactory()
• SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor.setVirtualThreads(boolean)

setThreadFactory

public void setThreadFactory(@Nullable
 ThreadFactory threadFactory)

Set the ThreadFactory to use for the ExecutorService's thread pool. The default is the underlying ExecutorService's default thread factory.

In a Jakarta EE or other managed environment with JSR-236 support, consider specifying a JNDI-located ManagedThreadFactory: by default, to be found at "java:comp/DefaultManagedThreadFactory". Use the "jee:jndi-lookup" namespace element in XML or the programmatic JndiLocatorDelegate for convenient lookup. Alternatively, consider using Spring's DefaultManagedAwareThreadFactory with its fallback to local threads in case of no managed thread factory found.

See Also:

• Executors.defaultThreadFactory()
• ManagedThreadFactory
• DefaultManagedAwareThreadFactory

setThreadNamePrefix

public void setThreadNamePrefix(@Nullable
 String threadNamePrefix)

Description copied from class: CustomizableThreadCreator

Specify the prefix to use for the names of newly created threads. Default is "SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor-".

Overrides:

setThreadNamePrefix in class CustomizableThreadCreator

setRejectedExecutionHandler

public void setRejectedExecutionHandler(@Nullable
 RejectedExecutionHandler rejectedExecutionHandler)

Set the RejectedExecutionHandler to use for the ExecutorService. The default is the ExecutorService's default abort policy.

See Also:

• ThreadPoolExecutor.AbortPolicy

setAcceptTasksAfterContextClose

public void setAcceptTasksAfterContextClose(boolean acceptTasksAfterContextClose)

Set whether to accept further tasks after the application context close phase has begun.

The default is false as of 6.1, triggering an early soft shutdown of the executor and therefore rejecting any further task submissions. Switch this to true in order to let other components submit tasks even during their own stop and destruction callbacks, at the expense of a longer shutdown phase. The executor will not go through a coordinated lifecycle stop phase then but rather only stop tasks on its own shutdown.

acceptTasksAfterContextClose=true like behavior also follows from "waitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown" which effectively is a specific variant of this flag, replacing the early soft shutdown in the concurrent managed stop phase with a serial soft shutdown in the executor's destruction step, with individual awaiting according to the "awaitTerminationSeconds" property.

This flag will only have effect when the executor is running in a Spring application context and able to receive the ContextClosedEvent. Also, note that ThreadPoolTaskExecutor effectively accepts tasks after context close by default, in combination with a coordinated lifecycle stop, unless "strictEarlyShutdown" has been specified.

Since:

6.1

See Also:

• ConfigurableApplicationContext.close()
• DisposableBean.destroy()
• shutdown()
• setAwaitTerminationSeconds(int)

setWaitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown

public void setWaitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown(boolean waitForJobsToCompleteOnShutdown)

Set whether to wait for scheduled tasks to complete on shutdown, not interrupting running tasks and executing all tasks in the queue.

The default is false, with a coordinated lifecycle stop first (unless "acceptTasksAfterContextClose" has been set) and then an immediate shutdown through interrupting ongoing tasks and clearing the queue. Switch this flag to true if you prefer fully completed tasks at the expense of a longer shutdown phase. The executor will not go through a coordinated lifecycle stop phase then but rather only stop and wait for task completion on its own shutdown.

Note that Spring's container shutdown continues while ongoing tasks are being completed. If you want this executor to block and wait for the termination of tasks before the rest of the container continues to shut down - for example, in order to keep up other resources that your tasks may need -, set the "awaitTerminationSeconds" property instead of or in addition to this property.

See Also:

• ExecutorService.shutdown()
• ExecutorService.shutdownNow()
• shutdown()
• setAwaitTerminationSeconds(int)

setAwaitTerminationSeconds

public void setAwaitTerminationSeconds(int awaitTerminationSeconds)

Set the maximum number of seconds that this executor is supposed to block on shutdown in order to wait for remaining tasks to complete their execution before the rest of the container continues to shut down. This is particularly useful if your remaining tasks are likely to need access to other resources that are also managed by the container.

By default, this executor won't wait for the termination of tasks at all. It will either shut down immediately, interrupting ongoing tasks and clearing the remaining task queue - or, if the "waitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown" flag has been set to true, it will continue to fully execute all ongoing tasks as well as all remaining tasks in the queue, in parallel to the rest of the container shutting down.

In either case, if you specify an await-termination period using this property, this executor will wait for the given time (max) for the termination of tasks. As a rule of thumb, specify a significantly higher timeout here if you set "waitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown" to true at the same time, since all remaining tasks in the queue will still get executed - in contrast to the default shutdown behavior where it's just about waiting for currently executing tasks that aren't reacting to thread interruption.

Since:

5.2.4

See Also:

• setAwaitTerminationSeconds(int)

setPhase

public void setPhase(int phase)

Specify the lifecycle phase for pausing and resuming this executor.

The default for executors/schedulers is DEFAULT_PHASE as of 6.2, for stopping after other SmartLifecycle implementations.

Since:

6.1

See Also:

• SmartLifecycle.getPhase()

getPhase

public int getPhase()

Return the lifecycle phase for pausing and resuming this executor.

Specified by:

getPhase in interface Phased

Specified by:

getPhase in interface SmartLifecycle

Since:

6.1

See Also:

setBeanName

public void setBeanName(String name)

Description copied from interface: BeanNameAware

Set the name of the bean in the bean factory that created this bean.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Specified by:

setBeanName in interface BeanNameAware

Parameters:

name - the name of the bean in the factory. Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending "#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils.originalBeanName(String) method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.

setApplicationContext

public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext)

Description copied from interface: ApplicationContextAware

Set the ApplicationContext that this object runs in. Normally this call will be used to initialize the object.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method. Invoked after ResourceLoaderAware.setResourceLoader(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader), ApplicationEventPublisherAware.setApplicationEventPublisher(org.springframework.context.ApplicationEventPublisher) and MessageSourceAware, if applicable.

Specified by:

setApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextAware

Parameters:

applicationContext - the ApplicationContext object to be used by this object

See Also:

• BeanInitializationException

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()

Calls initialize() after the container applied all property values.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

See Also:

• initialize()

initialize

public void initialize()

Set up the ExecutorService.

initializeExecutor

protected abstract ExecutorService initializeExecutor(ThreadFactory threadFactory,
 RejectedExecutionHandler rejectedExecutionHandler)

Create the target ExecutorService instance. Called by afterPropertiesSet.

Parameters:

threadFactory - the ThreadFactory to use

rejectedExecutionHandler - the RejectedExecutionHandler to use

Returns:

a new ExecutorService instance

Calls shutdown when the BeanFactory destroys the executor instance.

Specified by:

destroy in interface DisposableBean

See Also:

• shutdown()

initiateShutdown

public void initiateShutdown()

Initiate a shutdown on the underlying ExecutorService, rejecting further task submissions.

The executor will not accept further tasks and will prevent further scheduling of periodic tasks, letting existing tasks complete still. This step is non-blocking and can be applied as an early shutdown signal before following up with a full shutdown() call later on.

Automatically called for early shutdown signals on context close. Can be manually called as well, in particular outside a container.

Since:

6.1

See Also:

• shutdown()
• ExecutorService.shutdown()

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Perform a full shutdown on the underlying ExecutorService, according to the corresponding configuration settings.

This step potentially blocks for the configured termination period, waiting for remaining tasks to complete. For an early shutdown signal to not accept further tasks, call initiateShutdown() first.

See Also:

• setWaitForTasksToCompleteOnShutdown(boolean)
• setAwaitTerminationMillis(long)
• ExecutorService.shutdown()
• ExecutorService.shutdownNow()
• ExecutorService.awaitTermination(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)

initiateEarlyShutdown

protected void initiateEarlyShutdown()

Early shutdown signal: do not trigger further tasks, let existing tasks complete before hitting the actual destruction step in the shutdown() method. This goes along with a coordinated lifecycle stop phase.
