Class BlockingTimerTask

java.lang.Object

java.util.TimerTask

org.mdiutil.util.BlockingTimerTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public abstract class BlockingTimerTask
extends TimerTask

A blocking TimerTask. Contrary to a TimerTask, the method which will run after the timer has elapsed is the runImpl() rather than run(). The await() method will block in the calling Thread until the timer is run (so after the timer has elapsed). However if you don't call the await() method, the BlockingTimerTask will work just like a TimerTask. You must be aware that if you have a periodic timer, the await() method will block for each iteration of the timer loop, which might not be what you want.

Since:

1.2.28
