Java Socket Thread Pool Example
The Echo Thread Pool Server Tutorial is intended to provide an introduction to the concept of thread pools. In Java, thread pools are most commonly utilized through the java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService interface. The Java Tutorials provide a good introduction to thread pooling, and the code below is intended to be a simple crash course.

This server extends the functionality of the Echo Server Tutorial code by supporting multiple simultaneous connections by utilizing a pool of threads. As more concurrent connections are made to the server, more threads are automatically spawned by the ExecutorService, and as clients disconnect unused threads are destroyed. It also introduces the use of the Runtime and the shutdown hook - a thread that is run when the Virtual Machine (VM) is about to shutdown.
