You're rigth. If multiple threads are scheduling jobs and the pool has reached a threadcount of maxsize-1, chances are that a RejectedExecutionException is thrown. The offer-method should use a lock. Like so: public boolean offer(Runnable inJob) { _lock.lock(); try { if (_executor.getPoolSize() _executor.getMaximumPoolSize()) { return false; } return super.offer(inJob); } finally { _lock.unlock(); } } --Arjan Verstoep On 2 Jul 2014, at 09:52, Lance Java wrote: I'm not convinced this solution is thread-safe.
