Using the ExecutorService to Manage Threads that Execute PrintTasks
Figure 23.4 uses an ExecutorService
object to manage threads that execute PrintTasks
(as defined in Fig. 23.3). Lines 11–13 create and name three PrintTask
s to execute. Line 18 uses Executors
method newCachedThreadPool to obtain an ExecutorService
that’s capable of creating new threads as they’re needed by the application. These threads are used by ExecutorService
to execute the Runnable
s.
