Publisher: Apress

The Java Concurrency Utilities are high-level concurrency types that facilitate threading tasks especially on multicore systems. Prior to Java EE 7 one could make use of the concurrency utilities present in java. Util.concurrent package or the java.lang.Thread or java.lang. Supporting full concurrency of retrievals and adjustable expected concurrency for updates. Concurrency Utilities for Java EE Provides managed executors, scheduled executors, thread factories and thread context propagation. Wildfly 8 and EE Concurrency Utilities JSR 236 by Eduardo Martins. Utility classes commonly useful in concurrent programming. The concurrency utilities are important APIs that facilitate the concurrency implementations in the Java applications. Using the concurrency utilities will, in most cases, make your programs Executor , including a flexible thread pool and a scheduling service. Asynchronous operation was introduced in Servlet 3.0. Chapter 7 introduced Java's Threads API. The concurrency utilities packages provide a powerful, extensible framework of high-performance threading utilities such as thread pools and blocking queues. The Java platform includes a package of concurrency utilities. ServletRequest# startAsync is used to put the request into asynchronous mode. Managing your own threads within a Java EE container is not recommended and even illegal in some JSR-236: Concurrency Utilities for the Java EE platform.
