How to use the threads from a thread pool for every httprequest in java?

I need to create a thread pool of a fixed size and use the thread for every http request. Can anyone specify how to do this?

Thanks in advance

The code is 

    HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
    HttpClient  httpClient =  new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
    return httpResponse;

Here i need to use the thread from thread pool for every httpresponse

You should probably create a FixedThreadExecutor http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/Executors.html#newFixedThreadPool(int)

then create a Runnable tasks http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Runnable.html

and run them in the executor via sumbit() or executeAll() function http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ExecutorService.html

Maybe you shoudl do the HttPRequest in the thread also. And mark this as an homework (it smells like one)

You can use Executors and pass your own Runnable which will process your httpResponse. Code snippet:

public class MyHttpResponseHandler implements Runnable {

    private HttpResponse httpResponse = null;

    public MyHttpResponseHandler(HttpResponse httpResponse){
        this.httpResponse = httpResponse;
    }
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //Do something with the httpResponse
    }
}

void processHttpResponse(){
    HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
    HttpClient  httpClient =  new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
    ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
    executor.execute(new MyHttpResponseHandler(httpResponse));
}
