public interface ManagedExecutorService
extends java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService
ExecutorService
.
A ManagedExecutorService extends the Java™ SE ExecutorService to provide
methods for submitting tasks for execution in a Jakarta™ EE environment.
Implementations of the ManagedExecutorService are
provided by a Jakarta EE Product Provider. Application Component Providers
use the Java Naming and Directory Interface™ (JNDI) to look-up instances of one
or more ManagedExecutorService objects using resource environment references.
ManagedExecutorService instances can also be injected into application
components through the use of the Resource
annotation.
The Jakarta Concurrency specification describes several behaviors that a ManagedExecutorService can implement. The Application Component Provider and Deployer identify these requirements and map the resource environment reference appropriately.
The most common uses for a ManagedExecutorService is to run short-duration asynchronous tasks such as for processing of asynchronous methods in Jakarta Enterprise Beans or for processing async tasks for Servlets that supports asynchronous processing.
Tasks are run in managed threads provided by the Jakarta EE Product Provider
and are run within the application component context that submitted the task.
All tasks run without an explicit transaction (they do not enlist in the application
component's transaction). If a transaction is required, use a
jakarta.transaction.UserTransaction
instance. A UserTransaction instance is
available in JNDI using the name: "java:comp/UserTransaction" or by
requesting an injection of a jakarta.transaction.UserTransaction
object
using the Resource
annotation.
Example:
public run() { // Begin of task InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); UserTransaction ut = (UserTransaction) ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction"); ut.begin(); // Perform transactional business logic ut.commit(); }Tasks can optionally provide an
ManagedTaskListener
to receive
notifications of lifecycle events, through the use of ManagedTask
interface.
Example:
public class MyRunnable implements Runnable, ManagedTask { ... public void run() { ... } public ManagedTaskListener getManagedTaskListener() { return myManagedTaskListener; } ... } MyRunnable task = ...; ManagedExecutorService executor = ...; executor.submit(task); // lifecycle events will be notified to myManagedTaskListenerAsynchronous tasks are typically submitted to the ManagedExecutorService using one of the
submit
methods, each of which return a Future
instance. The Future
represents the result of the task and can also be used to
check if the task is complete or wait for its completion.
If the task is canceled, the result for the task is a
CancellationException
exception. If the task is unable
to run due to a reason other than cancellation, the result is a
AbortedException
exception.
Example:
/** * Retrieve all accounts from several account databases in parallel. * Resource Mappings: * type: jakarta.enterprise.concurrent.ManagedExecutorService * jndi-name: concurrent/ThreadPool */ public List<Account> getAccounts(long accountId) { try { javax.naming.InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); ManagedExecutorService mes = (ManagedExecutorService) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/concurrent/ThreadPool"); // Create a set of tasks to perform the account retrieval. ArrayList<Callable<Account>> retrieverTasks = new ArrayList<Callable<Account>>(); retrieverTasks.add(new EISAccountRetriever()); retrieverTasks.add(new RDBAccountRetriever()); // Submit the tasks to the thread pool and wait for them // to complete (successfully or otherwise). List<Future<Account>> taskResults= mes.invokeAll(retrieverTasks); // Retrieve the results from the resulting Future list. ArrayList<Account> results = new ArrayList<Account>(); for(Future<Account> taskResult : taskResults) { try { results.add(taskResult.get()); } catch (ExecutionException e) { Throwable cause = e.getCause(); // Handle the AccountRetrieverError. } } return results; } catch (NamingException e) { // Throw exception for fatal error. } catch (InterruptedException e) { // Throw exception for shutdown or other interrupt condition. } } public class EISAccountRetriever implements Callable<Account> { public Account call() { // Connect to our eis system and retrieve the info for the account. //... return null; } } public class RDBAccountRetriever implements Callable<Account> { public Account call() { // Connect to our database and retrieve the info for the account. //... } } public class Account { // Some account data... }
ManagedExecutorService provides various methods which correspond to the
static methods of CompletableFuture
and its
constructor/newIncompleteFuture
method,
enabling you to create completion stages that are backed by the ManagedExecutorService
as the default asynchronous execution facility, both for those stages
as well as all dependent stages that are created from those, and so on.
This allows you to create pipelines of completion stage actions that run
with consistent and predictable thread context, regardless of which thread each
dependent action ends up running on.
Example:
ManagedExectorService executor = InitialContext.doLookup("java:comp/DefaultManagedExecutorService");
...
CompletableFuture<Integer> future = executor
.supplyAsync(supplier)
.thenApply(function1)
.thenApplyAsync(function2)
...
Context propagation to completion stages that are backed by a
ManagedExecutorService
must be done in a consistent
and predictable manner, which is defined as follows,
contextService.createContextualProxy(action, Runnable.class)
),
then the action runs with the already-captured context.
ManagedExecutorService
that is the default asynchronous execution facility
for the new stage and its parent stage. In the case that a ManagedExecutorService
is supplied
as the executor
argument to a *Async
method, the supplied
ManagedExecutorService
is used to run the action, but not to determine the thread context
propagation and clearing.
Each type of thread context is applied (either as cleared or previously captured) to the thread that runs the action. The applied thread context is removed after the action completes, whether successfully or exceptionally, restoring the thread's prior context.
When dependent stages are created from the completion stage, and likewise from any dependent stages created from those, and so on, thread context is captured or cleared in the same manner. This guarantees that the action performed by each stage always runs under the thread context of the code that creates the completion stage, unless the user explicitly overrides this by supplying a pre-contextualized action.
Completion stages that are backed by a ManagedExecutorService
must raise
IllegalArgumentException
if supplied with an action that implements
ManagedTask
.

The new completable future is backed by the ManagedExecutorService
upon which copy is invoked,
which serves as the default asynchronous execution facility
for the new stage and all dependent stages created from it, and so forth.
When dependent stages are created from the new completable future, thread context is captured
and/or cleared by the ManagedExecutorService
. This guarantees that the action
performed by each stage always runs under the thread context of the code that creates the stage,
unless the user explicitly overrides by supplying a pre-contextualized action.
Invocation of this method does not impact thread context propagation for the supplied completable future or any other dependent stages directly created from it.
