executor

Manage the life cycle of {@link ExecutorService} and build async apps, schedule tasks, etc…

exports

One or more ExecutorService or sub-types of it

dependency

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jooby</groupId>
 <artifactId>jooby-executor</artifactId>
 <version>1.6.6</version>
</dependency>

usage

...
import org.jooby.exec.Exec;
...
{
  use(new Exec());

  get("/", req -> {
    ExecutorService executor = require(ExecutorService.class);
    // work with executor
  });

}

The default executor is a Executors#newFixedThreadPool(int) with threads defined by Runtime#availableProcessors().

explicit creation

The default ExecutorService is nice and give you something that just works out of the box. But, what if you need to control the number of threads?

Explicit control is provided via executors which allow the following syntax:

type (= int)? (, daemon (= boolean)? )? (, priority (= int)? )?

Let’s see some examples:

# fixed thread pool with a max number of threads equals to the available runtime processors
executors = "fixed"

# fixed thread pool with a max number of 10 threads
executors = "fixed = 10"

# fixed thread pool with a max number of 10 threads
executors = "fixed = 10"

# scheduled thread pool with a max number of 10 threads
executors = "scheduled = 10"

# cached thread pool with daemon threads and max priority
executors = "cached, daemon = true, priority = 10"

# forkjoin thread pool with asyncMode
executors = "forkjoin, asyncMode = true"

multiple executors

Multiple executors are provided by expanding the executors properties, like:

executors {
   pool1: fixed
   jobs: forkjoin
 }

Later, you can request your executor like:

{
  use(new Exec());

  get("/", req -> {
    ExecutorService pool1 = require("pool1", ExecutorService.class);
    ExecutorService jobs = require("jobs", ExecutorService.class);
  });
}

deferred

Executors created by this module can be referenced by deferred results:

{
  use(new Exec());

  get("/", deferred("pool1", () -> {
    return "from pool1";
  });

  get("/", deferred("jobs", () -> {
    return "from jobs";
  });
}

shutdown

Any ExecutorService created by this module will automatically shutdown on application shutdown time.
