Method Detail

getSize

int getSize()
Get number of current used timers.

Returns:
The number of active timers

addTimeoutListener

Timestamp addTimeoutListener(I_Timeout listener,
                             long delay,
                             java.lang.Object userData)
Add a listener which gets informed after 'delay' milliseconds.

After the timeout happened, you are not registered any more. If you want to cycle timeouts, you need to register again.

Parameters:
listener - Your callback handle (you need to implement this interface).
delay - The timeout in milliseconds. You can pass 0L and the Timeout thread will fire immediately, this can be useful to dispatch a task to the timeoutlistener
userData - Some arbitrary data you supply, it will be routed back to you when the timeout occurs through method I_Timeout.timeout().
Returns:
A handle which you can use to unregister with removeTimeoutListener().

refreshTimeoutListener

Timestamp refreshTimeoutListener(Timestamp key,
                                 long delay)
                                 throws XmlBlasterException
Refresh a listener before the timeout happened.

NOTE: The returned timeout handle is different from the original one.

NOTE: If you are not sure if the key has elapsed already try this:

 timeout.removeTimeoutListener(timeoutHandle);
 timeoutHandle = timeout.addTimeoutListener(this, "1000L", "UserData");
 

Parameters:
key - The timeout handle you received by a previous addTimeoutListener() call.
It is invalid after this call.
delay - The timeout in milliseconds measured from now.
Returns:
A new handle which you can use to unregister with removeTimeoutListener()
Throws:
XmlBlasterException - if key is null or unknown or invalid because timer elapsed already

addOrRefreshTimeoutListener

Timestamp addOrRefreshTimeoutListener(I_Timeout listener,
                                      long delay,
                                      java.lang.Object userData,
                                      Timestamp key)
                                      throws XmlBlasterException
Checks if key is null -> addTimeoutListener else refreshTimeoutListener() in a thread save way.
Note however that your passed key is different from the returned key and you need to synchronize this call to avoid having a stale key (two threads enter this method the same time, the key gets invalid by the first thread and the second passed a stale key as the first thread has not yet returned to update 'key')

Throws:
XmlBlasterException

removeTimeoutListener

void removeTimeoutListener(Timestamp key)
Remove a listener before the timeout happened.

Parameters:
key - The timeout handle you received by a previous addTimeoutListener() call.

isExpired

boolean isExpired(Timestamp key)
Is this handle expired?

Parameters:
key - The timeout handle you received by a previous addTimeoutListener() call
Returns:
true/false

spanToTimeout

long spanToTimeout(Timestamp key)
How long to my timeout.

Parameters:
key - The timeout handle you received by a previous addTimeoutListener() call.
Returns:
Milliseconds to timeout, or -1 if not known.

elapsed

long elapsed(Timestamp key)
How long am i running.

Parameters:
key - The timeout handle you received by a previous addTimeoutListener() call.
Returns:
Milliseconds since creation, or -1 if not known.

getTimeout

long getTimeout(Timestamp key)
Access the end of life span.

Parameters:
key - The timeout handle you received by a previous addTimeoutListener() call.
Returns:
Time in milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC or -1 if not known.

removeAll

void removeAll()
Reset all pending timeouts.


shutdown

void shutdown()
Reset and stop the Timeout manager thread.


dumpStatus

java.lang.String dumpStatus()
