Overview

A simple example (MyPuddle.java):

import com.msi.threadpuddle.ThreadPuddleImpl;
import com.msi.threadpuddle.ThreadPuddle;
import com.msi.threadpuddle.State;
import java.util.Properties;

public class MyPuddle {
  private ThreadPuddle threadPuddle = null;

  public MyPuddle() {
    Properties prop = new Properties();
    prop.setProperty("threadCount", "10");
    prop.setProperty("debug", "true");
    try {
        threadPuddle = new ThreadPuddleImpl(prop);
    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("unable to create thread pool");
      System.exit(-1);
    }
  }

  public void addAJob() {
    Runnable Job = new MyJob();	// implements Runnable
    threadPuddle.addJob(Job);
  }

}

This creates a thread puddle with 10 (and only 10) threads in the constructor and provides a method for adding a job to the puddle job queue.
