RSE
Release 3.0

org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver
Class SystemReentrantMutex


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.rse.services.clientserver.SystemReentrantMutex

public class SystemReentrantMutex
extends Object

A reentrant Exclusion Lock for Threads that need to access a resource in a serialized manner. If the request for the lock is running on the same thread who is currently holding the lock, it will "borrow" the lock, and the call to waitForLock() will go through. A SystemOperationMonitor is accepted in order to support cancellation when waiting for the Mutex. This is a clone of Mutex with some modification to make sure the sequential calls to waitForLock() method in the same thread will not be blocked. Usage Example: private SystemReentrantMutex fooMutex = new SystemReentrantMutex(); boolean doFooSerialized()(ISystemOperationMonitor monitor) { int mutexLockStatus = SystemReentrantMutex.LOCK_STATUS_NOLOCK; mutexLockStatus = fooMutex.waitForLock(monitor, 1000); if (mutexLockStatus != SystemReentrantMutex.LOCK_STATUS_NOLOCK) { try { return doFoo(); } finally { //We only release the mutex if we acquire it, not borrowed it. if (mutexLockStatus == SystemReentrantMutex.LOCK_STATUS_AQUIRED) { fooMutex.release(); } } } return false; }

Constructor Detail

SystemReentrantMutex

public SystemReentrantMutex()
Creates an instance of SystemMutex.

Method Detail

waitForLock

public int waitForLock(
ISystemOperationMonitor monitor,
                       long timeout)
Try to acquire the lock maintained by this mutex. If the thread needs to wait before it can acquire the mutex, it will wait in a first-come-first-serve fashion. In case a progress monitor was given, it will be updated and checked for cancel every second.

Parameters:
monitor - SystemOperationMonitor. May be null.
timeout - Maximum wait time given in milliseconds.
Returns:
LOCK_STATUS_AQUIRED if the lock was acquired successfully. LOCK_STATUS_BORROWED if the lock was borrowed. LOCK_STATUS_NOLOCK if otherwise.

release

public void release()
Release this mutex's lock. May only be called by the same thread that originally acquired the SystemMutex.


isLocked

public boolean isLocked()
Return this Mutex's lock status.

Returns:
true if this mutex is currently acquired by a thread.

interruptAll

public void interruptAll()
Interrupt all threads waiting for the Lock, causing their waitForLock(ISystemOperationMonitor, long) method to return false. This should be called if the resource that the Threads are contending for, becomes unavailable for some other reason.
