All Known Implementing Classes:

ConcurrentTaskExecutor, SimpleAsyncTaskExecutor, SimpleThreadPoolTaskExecutor, SyncTaskExecutor, ThreadPoolTaskExecutor, TimerTaskExecutor, WorkManagerTaskExecutor

public interface TaskExecutor

Simple task executor interface that abstracts the execution of a Runnable. Implementations can use all sorts of different execution strategies, such as: synchronous, asynchronous, using a thread pool, etc.

Identical to JDK 1.5's java.util.concurrent.Executor interface. Separate mainly for compatibility with JDK 1.3+. Implementations can simply implement the JDK 1.5 Executor interface as well, as it defines the exact same method signature.

2.0
