Package com.sun.jini.thread

These are utility classes and interfaces for helping with tasks done in multiple threads.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Executor	Executor is an abstraction for a thread factory or thread pool for executing actions asynchronously.
TaskManager.Task	The interface that tasks must implement

Class Summary

Class	Description
GetThreadPoolAction	Provides security-checked access to internal thread pools as a java.security.PrivilegedAction, to be used conveniently with an AccessController.doPrivileged or Security.doPrivileged.
InProgress	This class provides a blocking mechanism that will not proceed while some operation bounded by this object is in progress.
InterruptedStatusThread	Common Thread subclass to handle potential loss of interrupted status.
NewThreadAction	A PrivilegedAction for creating a new thread conveniently with an AccessController.doPrivileged or Security.doPrivileged.
ReadersWriter	An Object to control the concurrent state.
ReadyState	Utility class used to prevent access to a service before it has completed its initialization or after it starts to shutdown.
RetryTask
StreamPlugThread	StreamPlugThread is a utility class that "plugs" two streams, one input stream and one output stream, together by creating a thread that repeatedly reads any data available from the input stream and writes it to the output stream.
TaskManager	A task manager manages a single queue of tasks, and some number of worker threads.
ThreadPoolPermission	Permission to use internal thread pools (see GetThreadPoolAction).
WakeupManager	A Queue of timed tasks.
WakeupManager.ThreadDesc	Description of a future thread.
WakeupManager.Ticket	A ticket that can be used for cancelling a future task.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
ReadersWriter.ConcurrentLockException	InterruptedException transformed to a runtime exception.

Package com.sun.jini.thread Description

These are utility classes and interfaces for helping with tasks done in multiple threads. Some utilities (such as InProgress) provide synchronization mechanisms. Others, such as TaskManager, provide utilities for managing the creation of multiple threads to do independent tasks.
