Class RunnableTask

java.lang.Object
  org.jasig.portal.utils.threading.BaseTask
      org.jasig.portal.utils.threading.RunnableTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable, Task

public class RunnableTask
extends BaseTask

This class exists as a convenience to execute Runnables. Although it may seem redundant, it is useful in that the superclass run() will appropriately catch and store Exceptions, so that callers need not worry about catching and handling them in their Runnable implementation.
