See Also:

stop(boolean)

stop

void stop(boolean join)

signals to all threads managed by this jobImpl executor to stop. Stopping the dispatcher thread is blocking till the dispatcher is no more alive. If join is set to true, this method will block until all jobImpl executor threads are joined and actually dead. If join is false, the jobImpl executor threads are only told to stop, without waiting till they are actually stopped. It may be that jobImpl executor threads are in the middle of executing a jobImpl and they may finish after this method returned.

jobWasAdded

void jobWasAdded()

signals jobExecutor that a job has been added

getName

String getName()

returns JobExecutor name

isActive

boolean isActive()

returns true if this JobExecutor is started
