All Implemented Interfaces:

RejectedExecutionHandler

public class ThreadPoolRejectedExecutionHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements RejectedExecutionHandler

A concrete implementation of RejectedExecutionHandler for ThreadPools. This handler will allocate extra threads as needed and attempts to execute the specified runnable task. This handler is appropriate to be used in situations where response time is important and the system is capable of providing extra resources (threads) on a temporary basis to handle sudden burst of activity.

handle

public void handle(java.lang.Runnable runnable,
                   Executor executor)
            throws RejectedExecutionException

Description copied from interface: RejectedExecutionHandler

Called when a RejectedExecutionException is thrown when the Executor.execute(java.lang.Runnable) method is invoked to handle the rejection.

Specified by:

handle in interface RejectedExecutionHandler

Parameters:

runnable - the task to run, guaranteed to be non-null.

executor - the executor, guaranteed to be non-null.

Throws:

RejectedExecutionException - thrown if the way to handle the exception is to throw it.

IMPORTANT Since the executor is passed in, there is nothing to prevent this method to invoke the executor's execute method. But if this handler does call the executor's execute method, it must ensure that this execute call will not trigger this handler which can in turn trigger a call to execute, ultimately resulting in a stack overflow.
