public class ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
extends ThreadPoolExecutor   
implements ScheduledExecutorService   

A ThreadPoolExecutor that can additionally schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically. This class is preferable to Timer when multiple worker threads are needed, or when the additional flexibility or capabilities of ThreadPoolExecutor (which this class extends) are required.

Delayed tasks execute no sooner than they are enabled, but without any real-time guarantees about when, after they are enabled, they will commence. Tasks scheduled for exactly the same execution time are enabled in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order of submission.

While this class inherits from ThreadPoolExecutor , a few of the inherited tuning methods are not useful for it. In particular, because it acts as a fixed-sized pool using corePoolSize threads and an unbounded queue, adjustments to maximumPoolSize have no useful effect.

Method Summary

void	execute (Runnable command) Execute command with zero required delay.
boolean	getContinueExistingPeriodicTasksAfterShutdownPolicy () Get the policy on whether to continue executing existing periodic tasks even when this executor has been shutdown.
boolean	getExecuteExistingDelayedTasksAfterShutdownPolicy () Get policy on whether to execute existing delayed tasks even when this executor has been shutdown.
BlockingQueue <Runnable >	getQueue () Returns the task queue used by this executor.
boolean	remove (Runnable task) Removes this task from the executor's internal queue if it is present, thus causing it not to be run if it has not already started.
<V> ScheduledFuture <V>	schedule (Callable <V> callable, long delay, TimeUnit unit) Creates and executes a ScheduledFuture that becomes enabled after the given delay.
ScheduledFuture <?>	schedule (Runnable command, long delay, TimeUnit unit) Creates and executes a one-shot action that becomes enabled after the given delay.
ScheduledFuture <?>	scheduleAtFixedRate (Runnable command, long initialDelay, long period, TimeUnit unit) Creates and executes a periodic action that becomes enabled first after the given initial delay, and subsequently with the given period; that is executions will commence after initialDelay then initialDelay+period, then initialDelay + 2 * period, and so on.
ScheduledFuture <?>	scheduleWithFixedDelay (Runnable command, long initialDelay, long delay, TimeUnit unit) Creates and executes a periodic action that becomes enabled first after the given initial delay, and subsequently with the given delay between the termination of one execution and the commencement of the next.
void	setContinueExistingPeriodicTasksAfterShutdownPolicy (boolean value) Set policy on whether to continue executing existing periodic tasks even when this executor has been shutdown.
void	setExecuteExistingDelayedTasksAfterShutdownPolicy (boolean value) Set policy on whether to execute existing delayed tasks even when this executor has been shutdown.
void	shutdown () Initiates an orderly shutdown in which previously submitted tasks are executed, but no new tasks will be accepted.
List <Runnable >	shutdownNow () Attempts to stop all actively executing tasks, halts the processing of waiting tasks, and returns a list of the tasks that were awaiting execution.
<T> Future <T>	submit (Callable <T> task) Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task.
Future <?>	submit (Runnable task) Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task.
<T> Future <T>	submit (Runnable task, T result) Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task that will upon completion return the given result

Constructor Detail

ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

public ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize)

Creates a new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor with the given core pool size.

Parameters:

corePoolSize - the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idle.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if corePoolSize less than or equal to zero

ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

public ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize,
                                   ThreadFactory    threadFactory)

Creates a new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor with the given initial parameters.

Parameters:

corePoolSize - the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idle.

threadFactory - the factory to use when the executor creates a new thread.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if threadFactory is null

ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

public ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize,
                                   RejectedExecutionHandler    handler)

Creates a new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor with the given initial parameters.

Parameters:

corePoolSize - the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idle.

handler - the handler to use when execution is blocked because the thread bounds and queue capacities are reached.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if handler is null

ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

public ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize,
                                   ThreadFactory    threadFactory,
                                   RejectedExecutionHandler    handler)

Creates a new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor with the given initial parameters.

Parameters:

corePoolSize - the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idle.

threadFactory - the factory to use when the executor creates a new thread.

handler - the handler to use when execution is blocked because the thread bounds and queue capacities are reached.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if threadFactory or handler is null

Method Detail

remove

public boolean remove(Runnable    task)

Description copied from class: ThreadPoolExecutor

Removes this task from the executor's internal queue if it is present, thus causing it not to be run if it has not already started.

This method may be useful as one part of a cancellation scheme. It may fail to remove tasks that have been converted into other forms before being placed on the internal queue. For example, a task entered using submit might be converted into a form that maintains Future status. However, in such cases, method ThreadPoolExecutor.purge() may be used to remove those Futures that have been cancelled.

Overrides:

remove in class ThreadPoolExecutor

Parameters:

task - the task to remove

Returns:

true if the task was removed
