Interface IExecutionService

All Superinterfaces:

IService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AsyncExecutionService, SyncExecutionService

public interface IExecutionService
extends IService

Common interface for different execution services. An executor service is responsible for executing for IExecutables. todo: make available the state of the executor service. It should be possible to stop the service. Get its state transfer it to some other executor and start the other one. Therefore suspend should either come back when service really is suspended or execution status should be readable. State representation? = all executables and their state? todo: use callbacks?
