Class ConcurrentTaskExecutor

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.scheduling.concurrent.ConcurrentTaskExecutor
All Implemented Interfaces:
Executor, AsyncTaskExecutor, TaskExecutor, SchedulingTaskExecutor
Direct Known Subclasses:
ConcurrentTaskScheduler

public class ConcurrentTaskExecutor
extends Object
implements SchedulingTaskExecutor

Adapter that takes a JDK 1.5 java.util.concurrent.Executor and exposes a Spring TaskExecutor for it. Also detects an extended java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService, adapting the AsyncTaskExecutor interface accordingly.

Note that there is a pre-built ThreadPoolTaskExecutor that allows for defining a JDK 1.5 ThreadPoolExecutor in bean style, exposing it as a Spring TaskExecutor directly. This is a convenient alternative to a raw ThreadPoolExecutor definition with a separate definition of the present adapter class.

2.0

Constructor Detail

ConcurrentTaskExecutor

public ConcurrentTaskExecutor()
Create a new ConcurrentTaskExecutor, using a single thread executor as default.

See Also:
Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()

ConcurrentTaskExecutor

public ConcurrentTaskExecutor(Executor concurrentExecutor)
Create a new ConcurrentTaskExecutor, using the given JDK 1.5 concurrent executor.

Parameters:
concurrentExecutor - the JDK 1.5 concurrent executor to delegate to
Method Detail

setConcurrentExecutor

public final void setConcurrentExecutor(Executor concurrentExecutor)
Specify the JDK 1.5 concurrent executor to delegate to.


getConcurrentExecutor

public final Executor getConcurrentExecutor()
Return the JDK 1.5 concurrent executor that this adapter delegates to.


execute

public void execute(Runnable task)
Description copied from interface: TaskExecutor
Execute the given task.

The call might return immediately if the implementation uses an asynchronous execution strategy, or might block in the case of synchronous execution.

Specified by:
execute in interface Executor
Specified by:
execute in interface TaskExecutor
Parameters:
task - the Runnable to execute (never null)

execute

public void execute(Runnable task,
                    long startTimeout)
Description copied from interface: AsyncTaskExecutor
Execute the given task.

Specified by:
execute in interface AsyncTaskExecutor
Parameters:
task - the Runnable to execute (never null)
startTimeout - the time duration (milliseconds) within which the task is supposed to start. This is intended as a hint to the executor, allowing for preferred handling of immediate tasks. Typical values are AsyncTaskExecutor.TIMEOUT_IMMEDIATE or AsyncTaskExecutor.TIMEOUT_INDEFINITE (the default as used by TaskExecutor.execute(Runnable)).

submit

public Future<?> submit(Runnable task)
Description copied from interface: AsyncTaskExecutor
Submit a Runnable task for execution, receiving a Future representing that task. The Future will return a null result upon completion.

Specified by:
submit in interface AsyncTaskExecutor
Parameters:
task - the Runnable to execute (never null)
Returns:
a Future representing pending completion of the task

submit

public <T> Future<T> submit(Callable<T> task)
Description copied from interface: AsyncTaskExecutor
Submit a Callable task for execution, receiving a Future representing that task. The Future will return the Callable's result upon completion.

Specified by:
submit in interface AsyncTaskExecutor
Parameters:
task - the Callable to execute (never null)
Returns:
a Future representing pending completion of the task

prefersShortLivedTasks

public boolean prefersShortLivedTasks()
This task executor prefers short-lived work units.

Specified by:
prefersShortLivedTasks in interface SchedulingTaskExecutor
Returns:
true if this TaskExecutor prefers short-lived tasks
