Interface IScheduledFuture<V>

Type Parameters:

V - The result type returned by this Future

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Delayed>, Delayed, Future<V>, ScheduledFuture<V>

public interface IScheduledFuture<V>
extends ScheduledFuture<V>

A delayed result-bearing action that can be cancelled. Usually a scheduled future is the result of scheduling a task with a IScheduledExecutorService. Enhances the default ScheduledFuture API with support of statistics and time measurement info, through ScheduledTaskStatistics

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning) Attempts to cancel further scheduling of this task.
void	dispose() Used to destroy the instance of the IScheduledFuture in the scheduled executor.
ScheduledTaskHandler	getHandler() Returns the scheduled future resource handler.
ScheduledTaskStatistics	getStats() Returns the statistics and time measurement info of the execution of this scheduled future in the IScheduledExecutorService it was scheduled.

Method Detail

getHandler

ScheduledTaskHandler getHandler()

Returns the scheduled future resource handler. Can be used to re-acquire control of the IScheduledFuture using the IScheduledExecutorService.getScheduledFuture(ScheduledTaskHandler)

Returns:

An instance of ScheduledTaskHandler, a resource handler for this scheduled future.

getStats

ScheduledTaskStatistics getStats()

Returns the statistics and time measurement info of the execution of this scheduled future in the IScheduledExecutorService it was scheduled.

Returns:

An instance of ScheduledTaskStatistics, holding all stas and measurements

dispose

void dispose()

Used to destroy the instance of the IScheduledFuture in the scheduled executor. Once the instance is destroyed, any subsequent action on the IScheduledFuture will fail with an IllegalStateException Attempting to re-create the IScheduledFuture from the IScheduledExecutorService.getScheduledFuture(ScheduledTaskHandler) using the getHandler() will succeed, but any subsequent access on that new future, will also fail with StaleTaskException

cancel

boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)

Attempts to cancel further scheduling of this task. This attempt will fail if the task has already completed, has already been cancelled, or could not be cancelled for some other reason. If successful, and this task has not started when cancel is called, this task should never run.

Warning: This cancel will not attempt to interrupt the running thread if the task is already in progress, will just cancel further scheduling.

After this method returns, subsequent calls to Future.isDone() will always return true. Subsequent calls to Future.isCancelled() will always return true if this method returned true.

Specified by:

cancel in interface Future<V>

Parameters:

mayInterruptIfRunning - is throwing UnsupportedOperationException

Returns:

false if the task could not be cancelled, typically because it has already completed normally; true otherwise
