Re: How do I wait for the thread from theThreadPool to finish?

Correction:

completionService.submit(task, null).get();


-or-

completionService.submit(task, null);

completionService.take();

See ExecutorCompletionService

completionService.submit(task, null).take();

I am trying to use the PooledExecutor to create a thread pool. Once I create
my runnable task that needs to be executed, how does the calling thread wait
for the thread in the pool to finish, especially since I do not have the
handle to the thread that is executing the task.

threadPool.execute(task);

// At this point the calling thread needs to wait for the task to complete.

I am quite new to this Library and would appreciate your help.

Thanks

MH
