Interface Identifiable

public interface Identifiable

A tasks submitted to an ManagedExecutorService can optionally implement this interface.

The intent of this interface is to allow management facilities to inspect the task to determine the intent of the task and its state. Implementations should not depend upon any thread execution context and should typically return only readily-available instance data.
