------------------------------
Summary: Create a service implementation
Key: LANG-878
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-878
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: offbynull
Priority: Minor
It would be nice if commons lang had a Service class for threading -- similar
to the one provided by Guava, but without Guava's poorly designed API and
excess baggage. This would essentially be a thread with an initialization
method and a shutdown method (along with the actual run method). The thread
creating the service would block until the initialization finishes
successfully, and the service would call shutdown when it was finished (or if
it was interrupted). You would be able to query the state of the Service at any
time.
It would live in the concurrent package.
