Why is there no scheduled cached thread pool provided by the Java Executors class?

Question

Executors provides newCachedThreadPool() and newScheduledThreadPool(), but not newCachedScheduledThreadPool(), what gives

Answer 1

Like skaffman says, Executors is only a collection of factory method. if you need a particular instance, you can always check all existing Executor implementors. In your case, i think that calling one of the various constructors of ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor would be a good idea.
