ThreadFactory
public
interface
ThreadFactory
| java.util.concurrent.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.
