public interface Callable

Interface for runnable actions that bear results and/or throw Exceptions. This interface is designed to provide a common protocol for result-bearing actions that can be run independently in threads, in which case they are ordinarily used as the bases of Runnables that set FutureResults

This class was taken from the util.concurrent package written by Doug Lea. See http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html for an introduction to this package.
