Problems
Use the following problems to test your advanced programming prowess in virtual threads and structured concurrency in Java. I strongly encourage you to give each problem a try before you turn to the solutions and download the example programs:
- Tackling continuations: Provide a detailed explanation of what continuations are and how they work in the context of virtual threads.
- Tracing virtual thread states and transitions: Build a meaningful diagram of virtual thread states and transitions and explain it.
- Extending StructuredTaskScope: Explain and demonstrate the steps for extending the
StructuredTaskScope. Explain why we cannot extendShutdownOnSuccessandShutdownOnFailure. - Assembling StructuredTaskScope: Write a Java application that assembles (nests) multiple
StructuredTaskScopeinstances. - Assembling StructuredTaskScope with timeout: Modify the application developed in Problem 228 to add a timeout/deadline to the forked tasks.
- Hooking...
