     void rejectedExecution([Runnable](../../../java/lang/Runnable.html "interface in java.lang") r,  
                            [ThreadPoolExecutor](../../../java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html "class in java.util.concurrent") executor)  
     Method that may be invoked by a [ThreadPoolExecutor](../../../java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html "class in java.util.concurrent") when[execute](../../../java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html#execute-java.lang.Runnable-) cannot accept a task. This may occur when no more threads or queue slots are available because their bounds would be exceeded, or upon shutdown of the Executor.

     Parameters:  
     `r` \- the runnable task requested to be executed  
     `executor` \- the executor attempting to execute this task  
     Throws:  
     `[RejectedExecutionException](../../../java/util/concurrent/RejectedExecutionException.html "class in java.util.concurrent")` \- if there is no remedy
