Class PoolExecutor

java.lang.Object
  org.simpleframework.util.thread.PoolExecutor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Executor

public class PoolExecutor
extends Object
implements Executor

The PoolExecutor object is used to execute tasks in a thread pool. This creates a thread pool with an unbounded list of outstanding tasks, which ensures that any system requesting a task to be executed will not block when handing it over.

PoolExecutor

public PoolExecutor(Class<? extends Runnable> type,
                    int rest,
                    int active)

Parameters:

type - this is the type of runnable that this accepts

rest - this is the number of threads to use in the pool
