public class ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor implements ScheduledExecutorService
AThreadPoolExecutor
that can additionally schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically. This class is preferable toTimer
when multiple worker threads are needed, or when the additional flexibility or capabilities ofThreadPoolExecutor
(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.
When a submitted task is cancelled before it is run, execution is suppressed. By default, such a cancelled task is not automatically removed from the work queue until its delay elapses. While this enables further inspection and monitoring, it may also cause unbounded retention of cancelled tasks. To avoid this, set
setRemoveOnCancelPolicy(boolean)
totrue
, which causes tasks to be immediately removed from the work queue at time of cancellation.Successive executions of a task scheduled via
scheduleAtFixedRate
orscheduleWithFixedDelay
do not overlap. While different executions may be performed by different threads, the effects of prior executions happen-before those of subsequent ones.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 usingcorePoolSize
threads and an unbounded queue, adjustments tomaximumPoolSize
have no useful effect. Additionally, it is almost never a good idea to setcorePoolSize
to zero or useallowCoreThreadTimeOut
because this may leave the pool without threads to handle tasks once they become eligible to run.Extension notes: This class overrides the
execute
andsubmit
methods to generate internalScheduledFuture
objects to control per-task delays and scheduling. To preserve functionality, any further overrides of these methods in subclasses must invoke superclass versions, which effectively disables additional task customization. However, this class provides alternative protected extension methoddecorateTask
(one version each forRunnable
andCallable
) that can be used to customize the concrete task types used to execute commands entered viaexecute
,submit
,schedule
,scheduleAtFixedRate
, andscheduleWithFixedDelay
. By default, aScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
uses a task type extendingFutureTask
. However, this may be modified or replaced using subclasses of the form:public class CustomScheduledExecutor extends ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor { static class CustomTask<V> implements RunnableScheduledFuture<V> { ... } protected <V> RunnableScheduledFuture<V> decorateTask( Runnable r, RunnableScheduledFuture<V> task) { return new CustomTask<V>(r, task); } protected <V> RunnableScheduledFuture<V> decorateTask( Callable<V> c, RunnableScheduledFuture<V> task) { return new CustomTask<V>(c, task); } // ... add constructors, etc. }

execute
public void execute(Runnable command)
Executescommand
with zero required delay. This has effect equivalent toschedule(command, 0, anyUnit)
. Note that inspections of the queue and of the list returned byshutdownNow
will access the zero-delayedScheduledFuture
, not thecommand

ScheduledFuture
objects is thatafterExecute
is always called with a null secondThrowable
argument, even if thecommand
terminated abruptly. Instead, theThrowable
thrown by such a task can be obtained viaFuture.get()
.- Specified by:

command
- the task to execute- Throws:
RejectedExecutionException
- at discretion ofRejectedExecutionHandler

toCallable
form so they can be submitted.- Specified by:

shutdown
public void shutdown()
Initiates an orderly shutdown in which previously submitted tasks are executed, but no new tasks will be accepted. Invocation has no additional effect if already shut down.This method does not wait for previously submitted tasks to complete execution. Use
awaitTermination
to do that.If the
ExecuteExistingDelayedTasksAfterShutdownPolicy
has been setfalse
, existing delayed tasks whose delays have not yet elapsed are cancelled. And unless theContinueExistingPeriodicTasksAfterShutdownPolicy
has been settrue
, future executions of existing periodic tasks will be cancelled.- Specified by:
shutdown
in interfaceExecutorService
- Overrides:
shutdown
in classThreadPoolExecutor
- Throws:
SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and shutting down this ExecutorService may manipulate threads that the caller is not permitted to modify because it does not holdRuntimePermission
("modifyThread"), or the security manager's checkAccess method denies access.
-
shutdownNow
public 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.This method does not wait for actively executing tasks to terminate. Use
awaitTermination
to do that.There are no guarantees beyond best-effort attempts to stop processing actively executing tasks. This implementation cancels tasks via
Thread.interrupt()
, so any task that fails to respond to interrupts may never terminate.- Specified by:
shutdownNow
in interfaceExecutorService
- Overrides:
shutdownNow
in classThreadPoolExecutor
- Returns:
- list of tasks that never commenced execution.
Each element of this list is a
ScheduledFuture
, including those tasks submitted usingexecute
, which are for scheduling purposes used as the basis of a zero-delayScheduledFuture

SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and shutting down this ExecutorService may manipulate threads that the caller is not permitted to modify because it does not holdRuntimePermission
("modifyThread"), or the security manager's checkAccess method denies access.
-
getQueue
public BlockingQueue<Runnable> getQueue()
Returns the task queue used by this executor. Each element of this queue is aScheduledFuture
, including those tasks submitted usingexecute
which are for scheduling purposes used as the basis of a zero-delayScheduledFuture
. Iteration over this queue is not guaranteed to traverse tasks in the order in which they will execute.- Overrides:
getQueue
in classThreadPoolExecutor
