public abstract class AbstractExecutorService extends Object implements ExecutorService
ExecutorService
 execution methods. This class implements the submit,
 invokeAny and invokeAll methods using a
 RunnableFuture returned by newTaskFor, which defaults
 to the FutureTask class provided in this package.  For example,
 the implementation of submit(Runnable) creates an
 associated RunnableFuture that is executed and
 returned. Subclasses may override the newTaskFor methods
 to return RunnableFuture implementations other than
 FutureTask.
 Extension example. Here is a sketch of a class
 that customizes ThreadPoolExecutor to use
 a CustomTask class instead of the default FutureTask:
  
 
 public class CustomThreadPoolExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor {
   static class CustomTask<V> implements RunnableFuture<V> {...}
   protected <V> RunnableFuture<V> newTaskFor(Callable<V> c) {
       return new CustomTask<V>(c);
   }
   protected <V> RunnableFuture<V> newTaskFor(Runnable r, V v) {
       return new CustomTask<V>(r, v);
   }
   // ... add constructors, etc.

| AbstractExecutorService() | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| <T> List<Future<T>> | invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding
 their status and results when all complete. | 
| <T> List<Future<T>> | invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks,
         long timeout,
         TimeUnit unit)Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding
 their status and results
 when all complete or the timeout expires, whichever happens first. | 
| <T> T | invokeAny(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)Executes the given tasks, returning the result
 of one that has completed successfully (i.e., without throwing
 an exception), if any do. | 
| <T> T | invokeAny(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks,
         long timeout,
         TimeUnit unit)Executes the given tasks, returning the result
 of one that has completed successfully (i.e., without throwing
 an exception), if any do before the given timeout elapses. | 
| protected <T> RunnableFuture<T> | newTaskFor(Callable<T> callable)Returns a  RunnableFuturefor the given callable task. | 
| protected <T> RunnableFuture<T> | newTaskFor(Runnable runnable,
          T value)Returns a  RunnableFuturefor the given runnable and default
 value. | 
| <T> Future<T> | submit(Callable<T> task)Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a
 Future representing the pending results of the task. | 
| Future<?> | submit(Runnable task)Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future
 representing that task. | 
| <T> Future<T> | submit(Runnable task,
      T result)Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future
 representing that task. |

 If you would like to immediately block waiting
 for a task, you can use constructions of the form
 result = exec.submit(aCallable).get();
 
Note: The Executors class includes a set of methods
 that can convert some other common closure-like objects,
 for example, PrivilegedAction to
 Callable form so they can be submitted.

 Upon return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled.
