在Windows 编程中可以调用SetTimer在指定窗口安装定时器(Timer),定时器可以在指定的时间间隔周期性回调用户指定的方法,用来执行周期性的任务,如果想取消定时器,可以调用KillTimer取消。但是在java标准包里中并没有这种类。下面介绍的这个类包可以实现上述功能。
下面是接口,需要支持定时器功能的类要实现这个接口:
TimerClient.java
package com.ly.util;
/**
* TimerClient Interface
*
* @version 1.0, 8 October 1995
*
*/
public interface TimerClient
{
void timerEvent(int id);
}
下面是定时器的实现,包括三个类:TimerCtl,TimerTask,TimerTasks。其中TimerTask用来描述定时器信息。 TimerTasks是一个TimerTask的列表,这样我们就可以同时在一个应用中安插多个定时器。TimerCtl是定时器控制类,是个线程,不停地检查TimerTasks中是否有TimerTask到期,要是有TimerTask到达指定的时间,则回调TimerTask指定的 TimerClient的timerEvent接口。
TimerCtl.java
package com.ly.util;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Enumeration;
//import com.borland.jb.util.Diagnostic;
/**
* Timer Component
*
* Note:
* - The successful operation of this timer requires clients to execute simple, short
* code snippets when called back by the engine. Otherwise the queue's delivery
* mechanism will be held up
*
* Further work:
* - When Thread.Interrupt is implemented we can switch from the busy wait model to
* the calculated wait model. Without the interrupt the thread waits for the
* calculated interval before waking up. This is a problem if another shorter
* request arrives. For now we'll assume the minimum resolution of the timer is
* 100ms.
*
* @version 1.0, 2 October 1995

下面是一个使用例子
TimerTest.java
package com.ly.util;
import java.io.*;

public class TimerTest implements TimerClient{
public TimerTest()
{
starttime();
}
public void timerEvent(int id)
{
System.out.println("timerEvent...");
}
public void starttime()
{
TimerCtl.startTimer(this,1,5*1000,true);
}
public void stoptime()
{
TimerCtl.stopTimer(this,1);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new TimerTest();
try
{
Thread.sleep(200000);
}catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
}
通过这种方式,可以高效地使用socket通讯,在异步socket版本没有发布以前,不失是一种解决问题的方法。:)
