Hi,
With the deprecation of Object.finalize its time to look at its uses too
see if they can be removed or mitigated.
So the nice thing about finalize was that it followed a
nice/clean/simple OO model where a subclass could override, add their
own cleanup and then call super.finalize(). With finalize() deprecated,
and the new mechanism being Cleaners, how do Cleaners support such usages?
Thanks,
David
The ThreadPoolExecutor overrides finalize to shutdown the pool.
A simple but incomplete step is to retain the shutdown on finalize but
remove it from
the specification of ThreadPoolExecutor.finalize (and remove the
override). [1]
For those familiar with Executors please take as look at the situation and
make a recommendation or suggestion.
Thanks, Roger
