Uses of Interface
java.util.concurrent.Future

Packages that use Future
java.util.concurrent Utility classes commonly useful in concurrent programming. 
javax.swing Provides a set of "lightweight" (all-Java language) components that, to the maximum degree possible, work the same on all platforms. 
javax.xml.ws This package contains the core JAX-WS APIs. 
 

Uses of Future in java.util.concurrent
 

Subinterfaces of Future in java.util.concurrent
 interface RunnableFuture<V>
          A Future that is Runnable.
 interface RunnableScheduledFuture<V>
          A ScheduledFuture that is Runnable.
 interface ScheduledFuture<V>
          A delayed result-bearing action that can be cancelled.
 

Classes in java.util.concurrent that implement Future
 class FutureTask<V>
          A cancellable asynchronous computation.
 

Methods in java.util.concurrent that return Future
 Future<V> ExecutorCompletionService.poll()
           
 Future<V> CompletionService.poll()
          Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task or null if none are present.
 Future<V> ExecutorCompletionService.poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
           
 Future<V> CompletionService.poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
          Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time if none are yet present.
<T> Future<T>
ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.submit(Callable<T> task)
           
<T> Future<T>
ExecutorService.submit(Callable<T> task)
          Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task.
<T> Future<T>
AbstractExecutorService.submit(Callable<T> task)
           
 Future<V> ExecutorCompletionService.submit(Callable<V> task)
           
 Future<V> CompletionService.submit(Callable<V> task)
          Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task.
 Future<?> ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.submit(Runnable task)
           
 Future<?> ExecutorService.submit(Runnable task)
          Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task.
 Future<?> AbstractExecutorService.submit(Runnable task)
           
<T> Future<T>
ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.submit(Runnable task, T result)
           
<T> Future<T>
ExecutorService.submit(Runnable task, T result)
          Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task.
<T> Future<T>
AbstractExecutorService.submit(Runnable task, T result)
           
 Future<V> ExecutorCompletionService.submit(Runnable task, V result)
           
 Future<V> CompletionService.submit(Runnable task, V result)
          Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task.
 Future<V> ExecutorCompletionService.take()
           
 Future<V> CompletionService.take()
          Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task, waiting if none are yet present.
 

Methods in java.util.concurrent that return types with arguments of type Future
<T> List<Future<T>>
ExecutorService.invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)
          Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding their status and results when all complete.
<T> List<Future<T>>
AbstractExecutorService.invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)
           
<T> List<Future<T>>
ExecutorService.invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks, long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
          Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding their status and results when all complete or the timeout expires, whichever happens first.
<T> List<Future<T>>
AbstractExecutorService.invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks, long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
           
 

Constructor parameters in java.util.concurrent with type arguments of type Future
ExecutorCompletionService(Executor executor, BlockingQueue<Future<V>> completionQueue)
          Creates an ExecutorCompletionService using the supplied executor for base task execution and the supplied queue as its completion queue.
 

Uses of Future in javax.swing
 

Classes in javax.swing that implement Future
 class SwingWorker<T,V>
          An abstract class to perform lengthy GUI-interacting tasks in a dedicated thread.
 

Uses of Future in javax.xml.ws
 

Subinterfaces of Future in javax.xml.ws
 interface Response<T>
          The Response interface provides methods used to obtain the payload and context of a message sent in response to an operation invocation.
 

Methods in javax.xml.ws that return Future
 Future<?> Dispatch.invokeAsync(T msg, AsyncHandler<T> handler)
          Invoke a service operation asynchronously.
