Part 10: java.util.concurrent - ScheduledThreadPool Example

This article will discuss about Thread pool that can schedule threads to run after a specified interval of time. From Java 5.0+ one can get such pool from Executors using following method –

public static ScheduledExecutorService
       newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize)
    Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.

The return type of this method (return type of thread pool) is ScheduledExecutorService.Some of the salient features of ScheduledExecutorService are –
        Schedule a Callable or Runnable to run once with a fixed delay after submission
        Schedule a Runnable to run periodically at a fixed rate
        Schedule a Runnable to run periodically with a fixed delay between executions
        Submission returns a ScheduledFutureTask handle which can be used to cancel the task
 .Like Timer, but supports pooling

Example:
Suppose we are building a Bank check processing system. Here is the process –
 Every local branch collect cheques and create a txt file contain cheque info.
 A service runs which copy the cheque txt file from local branch to main server.
 A Local service runs on server which check if any file has received and notify the cheque Clearing process.

We will try to make “Local Service”, which check the file reception and “Copying process” Which copy file from client machine to Server.
Pseudo Code-

//Define Local & Copying service running interval time in Seconds
//Make an ScheduledThreadPool with pool size 2
try{
    // Make Local Service thread
    // Make Copying process thread
    // Scheduled Both thread to run at regular interval
}catch(Exception e){
 //release all resources
}

LocalService Thread-
Try{
        //Check if directory exists
        //Check if any file exists in directory
        //return status
}catch(Exception e){
        //Print necessary exception
}

Copying Process Thread-
Try{
   // Check if File existin on remote server
   // Copy the file to main server
}catch(Exception e){
        //Print necessary exception
}
