question on ThreadPoolExecutor

[Ted Yu ted_yu-/[e-mail] [seajug]]

Hi,
The JDK ThreadPoolExecutor creates all the threads in the pool. As a consequence, we create (by default) 256 threads even if we just need a few.

Does anyone know of an ExecutorService which creates threads only if we have something in the queue ?

Thanks

Check out the factory methods in the Executors tool class.

I think you are interested in the difference between newFixedThreadPool and
newCachedThreadPool.
