Class TimerCallback

java.lang.Object
  java.util.TimerTask
      dsto.dfc.util.TimerCallback

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class TimerCallback
extends TimerTask

Used to deliver an event from java.util.Timer. This can be used to shunt an event from a one thread to be re-delivered in another.

Example usage:

 public void propertyValueChanged (PropertyChangeEvent e)
 {
   Timer timer = java.util.Timers.getTimer (false);
   timer.schedule (new TimerEventCallback (this, "propertyValueChanged", e), 0);
 }
 

or (shorter and equivalently)

   TimerEventCallback.schedule (this, "propertyValueChanged", e);
