[Java] Class DefaultPGroup

java.lang.Object
  groovyx.gpars.group.PGroup
      groovyx.gpars.group.DefaultPGroup

public final class DefaultPGroup
extends PGroup

Provides logical grouping for actors, agents and dataflow tasks and operators. Each group has an underlying thread pool, which will perform actions on behalf of the users belonging to the group. Actors created through the DefaultPGroup.actor method will automatically belong to the group through which they were created, just like agents created through the agent or fairAgent methods or dataflow tasks and operators created through the task or operator methods. Uses a pool of non-daemon threads. The DefaultPGroup class implements the Pool interface through @Delegate.

 def group = new DefaultPGroup()
 group.resize 1
 def actor = group.actor {
   react { message ->
     println message
   }
 }.start()
 actor.send 'Hi!'
 . . .
 group.shutdown()
 

Otherwise, if constructing Actors directly through their constructors, the AbstractPooledActor.parallelGroup property, which defaults to the Actors.defaultActorPGroup, can be set before the actor is started.

 def group = new DefaultPGroup()
 def actor = new MyActor()
 actor.parallelGroup = group
 actor.start()
 . . .
 group.shutdown()
