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
defaultThreadFactory()
method provides a more
useful simple implementation, that sets the created thread context
to known values before returning it.
Constructs a new
Thread
. Implementations may also initialize
priority, name, daemon status,
ThreadGroup
, etc.
r | a runnable to be executed by new thread instance |
---|
null
if the request to
create a thread is rejected
