## Class DelegatingTimerTask

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.TimerTask
  - - org.springframework.scheduling.timer.DelegatingTimerTask

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Runnable

  Deprecated.
  as of Spring 3.0, in favor of the `scheduling.concurrent` package which is based on Java 5's `java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService`

      @Deprecated
      public class DelegatingTimerTask
      extends TimerTask

  Simple `TimerTask` adapter that delegates to a given `Runnable`.

  This is often preferable to deriving from TimerTask, to be able to implement an interface rather than extend an abstract base class.
