TibrvDispatchable.timedDispatch()
Method
Declaration
booleantimedDispatch(double timeout)
throws TibrvException, java.lang.InterruptedException
Purpose
Dispatch an event, but if no event is ready to dispatch, limit the time that this call blocks while waiting for an event.
Remarks
If an event is ready to dispatch, then this call dispatches it, and then returns. If no events are waiting, this call waits for an event to arrive. If an event arrives before the waiting time elapses, then it dispatches the event and returns. If the waiting time elapses first, then the call returns without dispatching an event.
When the call dispatches an event, it returns true. When the call does not dispatch an event, it returns false.
Both TibrvQueue and TibrvQueueGroup implement this method.
