Getting started¶

Basic usage¶

For including the library as a dependency in a Maven project, see the installation instructions

Example: ExecutorServiceFactory¶

In the configuration class of your DropWizard project, declare a field for configuring the executor. If your executor processes jobs, you could name it jobQueue.

public class MyAppConfiguration extends Configuration {

    private ExecutorServiceFactory jobQueue;

    public void setJobQueue(ExecutorServiceFactory jobQueue) {
        this.jobQueue = jobQueue;
    }

    public ExecutorServiceFactory getJobQueue() {
        return jobQueue;
    }

    // ...
}

In the configuration file you can now configure the jobQueue as follows:

jobQueue:
  nameFormat: "job-queue-thread-%d"

  maxQueueSize: 4
  # Number of threads will be increased when maxQueueSize is exceeded.
  minThreads: 2
  # No more than maxThreads will be created, though
  maxThreads: 10
  # Threads will die after 60 seconds of idleness
  keepAliveTime: 60 seconds

In your Application class' run method you can finally create the actual executor:

// inside run()
ExecutorService executor = configuration.getJobQueue().build(environment);

and pass it to the resources or other components that need to use it.
