public TimeOut(int time)

Create a timeout with the specified number of milliseconds.

Method Detail

now

public static int now()

reset

public TimeOut reset()

hasExpired

public boolean hasExpired()

Has this TimeOut expired yet?

remaining

public int remaining()

How many milliseconds remaining? If it returns -1 it means that it will never timeout.

elapsed

public int elapsed()

How many milliseconds has elapsed since the TimeOut was started/reset.

expire

public void expire()

Force it to expire.

getNew

public TimeOut getNew()

Get a copy of this TimeOut, i.e. one which has the same interval.

wait

public void wait(Object obj)

This will block the current thread until the TimeOut expires. It -MAY- block any other threads. For single threaded applications such as Waba, calling this method WILL block other threads (i.e. the entire application). If the underlying VM is multithreaded it should not block any OS threads.

multiThreadedWait

public void multiThreadedWait(Object obj)
