Interface ThreadPool

All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleThreadPool

public interface ThreadPool

An interface representing a resizable thread pool which allows asynchronous dispatching of Runnable tasks. It is the responsibility of the Runnable task to handle exceptions gracefully. Any non handled exception will typically just be logged. Though a ThreadPool implementation could have some custom Exception handler
