Interface ThreadFactory
public interface ThreadFactory
An object that creates new threads on demand. Using thread factories removes hardwiring of calls to new Thread
, enabling applications to use special thread subclasses, priorities, etc.
The simplest implementation of this interface is just:
class SimpleThreadFactory implements ThreadFactory { public Thread newThread(Runnable r) { return new Thread(r); } }The
Executors.defaultThreadFactory()
method provides a more useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context to known values before returning it.- Since:
