How do I autowire a Spring TaskExecutor created thread?

Question

According to Spring\'s documentation the way to use the TaskExecutor is as follows:

import org.springframework.core.task.TaskExecutor;

public class TaskExecutor         


        

Answer 1

You can also use the @Async annotation.

public class TaskExecutorExample {

    @Autowired
    private MessagePrinterTask task;

    public void printMessages() {
        for(int i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
            task.printMessage();
        }
    }
}

@Component
public class MessagePrinterTask implements Runnable {

    @Autowired
    private String message;

    @Async
    public void printMessage() {
      System.out.println(message);
    }

}

Any call to printMessage() will be executed asynchronously using a default executor, which you can configure using the following in your Spring xml config.
