Class Executor

java.lang.Object

jadex.commons.concurrent.Executor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class Executor
extends Object
implements Runnable

A helper class for running a single instance of code using the thread pool. The code to be executed has to be placed in the code() method. Once created, the execute() method may be called as often as desired. When no thread is currently executing the object, a new thread is used from the thread pool. Otherwise, the already existing thread continues execution. After shutdown() is called, the executor stops execution, even when execute() is called afterwards.
