Constructor Detail

CmsWaitHandle

public CmsWaitHandle()

Creates a reusable wait handle.

CmsWaitHandle

public CmsWaitHandle(boolean singleUse)

Creates a wait handle.

The argument controls whether the wait handle will be single-use or reusable. The difference is that, for a single-use wait handle, all calls to enter() will return immediately after the first call to release(), while calling enter() on a reusable wait handle will always wait for the next release call.

Parameters:

singleUse - true if a single-use wait handle should be created

Method Detail

enter

public void enter(long waitTime)

Waits for a maximum of waitTime, but returns if another thread calls release().

Parameters:

waitTime - the maximum wait time

release

public void release()

Releases all currently waiting threads.
