/** |
10 |
* An {@link ExecutorService} that can schedule commands to run after a given |
11 |
* delay, or to execute periodically. |
12 |
* |
13 |
* <p>The {@code schedule} methods create tasks with various delays |
14 |
* and return a task object that can be used to cancel or check |
15 |
* execution. The {@code scheduleAtFixedRate} and |
16 |
* {@code scheduleWithFixedDelay} methods create and execute tasks |
17 |
* that run periodically until cancelled. |
18 |
* |
19 |
* <p>Commands submitted using the {@link Executor#execute(Runnable)} |
20 |
* and {@link ExecutorService} {@code submit} methods are scheduled |
21 |
* with a requested delay of zero. Zero and negative delays (but not |
22 |
* periods) are also allowed in {@code schedule} methods, and are |
23 |
* treated as requests for immediate execution. |
24 |
* |
25 |
* <p>All {@code schedule} methods accept <em>relative</em> delays and |
26 |
* periods as arguments, not absolute times or dates. It is a simple |
27 |
* matter to transform an absolute time represented as a {@link |
28 |
* java.util.Date} to the required form. For example, to schedule at |
29 |
* a certain future {@code date}, you can use: {@code schedule(task, |
30 |
* date.getTime() - System.currentTimeMillis(), |
31 |
* TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)}. Beware however that expiration of a |
32 |
* relative delay need not coincide with the current {@code Date} at |
33 |
* which the task is enabled due to network time synchronization |
34 |
* protocols, clock drift, or other factors. |
35 |
* |
36 |
* <p>The {@link Executors} class provides convenient factory methods for |
37 |
* the ScheduledExecutorService implementations provided in this package. |
38 |
* |
39 |
* <h3>Usage Example</h3> |
40 |
* |
41 |
* Here is a class with a method that sets up a ScheduledExecutorService |
42 |
* to beep every ten seconds for an hour: |
43 |
* |
44 |
* <pre> {@code |
45 |
* import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*; |
46 |
* class BeeperControl { |
47 |
* private final ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = |
48 |
* Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1); |
49 |
* |
50 |
* public void beepForAnHour() { |
51 |
* final Runnable beeper = new Runnable() { |
52 |
* public void run() { System.out.println("beep"); } |
53 |
* }; |
54 |
* final ScheduledFuture<?> beeperHandle = |
55 |
* scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(beeper, 10, 10, SECONDS); |
56 |
* scheduler.schedule(new Runnable() { |
57 |
* public void run() { beeperHandle.cancel(true); } |
58 |
* }, 60 * 60, SECONDS); |
59 |
* } |
