I’m using ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.schedule(Runnable,int,TimeUnit) to schedule some objects of a class that implements Runnable.

At some point in time, my application is then shutting down, and I use ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.shutdownNow(). According to the documentation it returns a list of ScheduledFuture’s.

What I really want to do is get a hold of the object that I originally scheduled, and get a bit of data from it which I will then output saying that it was unable to execute. This would then, later, be used by the application to attempt to execute it when the application then starts back up.

    The usual way to get info about objects submitted to an executor is to maintain a pointer to the original objects (be they extensions to Callable, Runnable, etc). After you call shutdownNow(), and take into account the Runnable’s returned by that which were awaiting execution, you can use that to prune your original list of objects and just interrogate the ones that were actually run.
