What is Executor Interface In Java ?

Interface Executor

All Known Subinterfaces:

ExecutorService, ScheduledExecutorService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractExecutorService, ForkJoinPool, ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor, ThreadPoolExecutor

Declaration of Executor:

public interface Executor

An Executor is normally used instead of explicitly creating threads.For example, rather than invoking new Thread(new(RunnableTask())).start(); for each of a set of tasks, you might use:

Executor executor = anExecutor;

executor.execute(new RunnableTask1());

executor.execute(new RunnableTask2());

Executor executes submitted Runnable tasks. This interface provides a way of decoupling task submission from the mechanics of how each task will be run, including details of thread use, scheduling, etc.

Method Summary of Executor Interface:

Modifier and Method Name	Description
void execute(Runnable command)	Executes the given command at some time in the future.
