- All Implemented Interfaces:
MBeanRegistration,NotificationBroadcaster,NotificationEmitter,TimerMBean
This class manages a list of dated timer notifications.
A method allows users to add/remove as many notifications as required.
When a timer notification is emitted by the timer and becomes obsolete,
it is automatically removed from the list of timer notifications.
Additional timer notifications can be added into regularly repeating notifications.
Note:
- When sending timer notifications, the timer updates the notification sequence number irrespective of the notification type.
- The timer service relies on the system date of the host where the
Timerclass is loaded. Listeners may receive untimely notifications if their host has a different system date. To avoid such problems, synchronize the system date of all host machines where timing is needed. - The default behavior for periodic notifications is fixed-delay execution, as
specified in
Timer. In order to use fixed-rate execution, use the overloadedaddNotification(String, String, Object, Date, long, long, boolean)method. - Notification listeners are potentially all executed in the same
thread. Therefore, they should execute rapidly to avoid holding up
other listeners or perturbing the regularity of fixed-delay
executions. See
NotificationBroadcasterSupport.

server- The MBean server in which the timer MBean will be registered.name- The object name of the timer MBean.- Returns:
- The name of the timer MBean registered.
- Throws:
Exception- if something goes wrong

- Specified by:
postRegisterin interfaceMBeanRegistration- Parameters:
registrationDone- Indicates whether or not the MBean has been successfully registered in the MBean server. The value false means that the registration phase has failed.

- Specified by:
postDeregisterin interfaceMBeanRegistration
-
start
public void start()Starts the timer.If there is one or more timer notifications before the time in the list of notifications, the notification is sent according to the
sendPastNotificationsflag and then, updated according to its period and remaining number of occurrences. If the timer notification date remains earlier than the current date, this notification is just removed from the list of notifications.- Specified by:
startin interfaceTimerMBean
-
stop
public void stop()Stops the timer.- Specified by:
stopin interfaceTimerMBean
-
addNotification
public Integer addNotification(String type, String message, Object userData, Date date, long period, long nbOccurences, boolean fixedRate) throws IllegalArgumentException Creates a new timer notification with the specifiedtype,messageanduserDataand inserts it into the list of notifications with a given date, period and number of occurrences.If the timer notification to be inserted has a date that is before the current date, the method behaves as if the specified date were the current date.
For once-off notifications, the notification is delivered immediately.
For periodic notifications, the first notification is delivered immediately and the subsequent ones are spaced as specified by the period parameter.Note that once the timer notification has been added into the list of notifications, its associated date, period and number of occurrences cannot be updated.
In the case of a periodic notification, the value of parameter fixedRate is used to specify the execution scheme, as specified in
Timer.- Specified by:
addNotificationin interfaceTimerMBean- Parameters:

Iffalseand if the notification is periodic, the notification is scheduled with a fixed-delay execution scheme. Ignored if the notification is not periodic.- Returns:
- The identifier of the new created timer notification.
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- The date isnullor the period or the number of occurrences is negative.- See Also:
-
