SyncTaskExecutor (Spring Framework 3.2.1.RELEASE API)
Date: 2013-01-24

org.springframework.core.task

## Class SyncTaskExecutor

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.core.task.SyncTaskExecutor

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Executor, TaskExecutor

      public class SyncTaskExecutor
      extends Object
      implements TaskExecutor, Serializable

  `TaskExecutor` implementation that executes each task synchronously in the calling thread.

  Mainly intended for testing scenarios.

  Execution in the calling thread does have the advantage of participating in it's thread context, for example the thread context class loader or the thread's current transaction association. That said, in many cases, asynchronous execution will be preferable: choose an asynchronous `TaskExecutor` instead for such scenarios.

  Since:
    2.0
