public interface ISchedulingRule
Scheduling rules are used by jobs to indicate when they need exclusive access
to a resource. Scheduling rules can also be applied synchronously to a thread
using IJobManager.beginRule(ISchedulingRule) and
IJobManager.endRule(ISchedulingRule). The job manager guarantees that
no two jobs with conflicting scheduling rules will run concurrently.
Multiple rules can be applied to a given thread only if the outer rule explicitly
allows the nesting as specified by the contains method.
Clients may implement this interface.

Method Summary
|
boolean
|
contains
(
ISchedulingRule rule)
Returns whether this scheduling rule completely contains another scheduling
rule. |
boolean
|
isConflicting
(
ISchedulingRule rule)
Returns whether this scheduling rule is compatible with another scheduling rule. |
contains
boolean contains(
ISchedulingRule rule)
- Returns whether this scheduling rule completely contains another scheduling
rule. Rules can only be nested within a thread if the inner rule is completely
contained within the outer rule.
Implementations of this method must obey the rules of a partial order relation
on the set of all scheduling rules. In particular, implementations must be reflexive
(a.contains(a) is always true), antisymmetric (a.contains(b) and b.contains(a) iff a.equals(b),
and transitive (if a.contains(b) and b.contains(c), then a.contains(c)). Implementations
of this method must return false when compared to a rule they
know nothing about.
-
-
Parameters:
-
rule - the rule to check for containment
-
Returns:
-
true if this rule contains the given rule, and
false otherwise.
isConflicting
boolean isConflicting(
ISchedulingRule rule)
- Returns whether this scheduling rule is compatible with another scheduling rule.
If
true is returned, then no job with this rule will be run at the
same time as a job with the conflicting rule. If false is returned,
then the job manager is free to run jobs with these rules at the same time.
Implementations of this method must be reflexive, symmetric, and consistent,
and must return false when compared to a rule they know
nothing about.
This method must return true if calling
contains(ISchedulingRule) on
the same rule also returns true. This is required because it would otherwise
allow two threads to be running concurrently with the same rule.
-
-
Parameters:
-
rule - the rule to check for conflicts
-
Returns:
-
true if the rule is conflicting, and false
otherwise.
