org.simpleframework.util.thread.Scheduler
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Executor
The
Scheduler
object is used to schedule tasks for
execution. This queues the task for the requested period of time
before it is executed. It ensures that the delay is adhered to
such that tasks can be timed for execution in an accurate way.- Author:

Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionvoid
This will execute the task within the executor immediately as it uses a delay duration of zero milliseconds.void
This will execute the task within the executor after the time specified has expired.void
This will execute the task within the executor after the time specified has expired.void
stop()
This is used to stop the executor by interrupting all running tasks and shutting down the threads within the pool.

Scheduler
public Scheduler(int size) Constructor for theScheduler
object. This will create a scheduler with a fixed number of threads to use before execution. Depending on the types of task that are to be executed this should be increased for accuracy.- Parameters:
size
- this is the number of threads for the scheduler
-
-
Method Details
-
execute
This will execute the task within the executor immediately as it uses a delay duration of zero milliseconds. This can be used if the scheduler is to be used as a thread pool. -
execute
This will execute the task within the executor after the time specified has expired. If the time specified is zero then it will be executed immediately. Once the scheduler has been stopped then this method will no longer accept runnable tasks.- Parameters:
task
- this is the task to schedule for executiondelay
- the time in milliseconds to wait for execution
-
execute
This will execute the task within the executor after the time specified has expired. If the time specified is zero then it will be executed immediately. Once the scheduler has been stopped then this method will no longer accept runnable tasks.- Parameters:
task
- this is the task to schedule for executiondelay
- this is the delay to wait before executionunit
- this is the duration time unit to wait for
-
stop
public void stop()This is used to stop the executor by interrupting all running tasks and shutting down the threads within the pool. This will return immediately once it has been stopped, and not further tasks will be accepted by this pool for execution.
