ScheduledExecutorTask

open class ScheduledExecutorTask

JavaBean that describes a scheduled executor task, consisting of the Runnable and a delay plus period. The period needs to be specified; there is no point in a default for it.

The java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService does not offer more sophisticated scheduling options such as cron expressions. Consider using ThreadPoolTaskScheduler for such needs.

Note that the java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService mechanism uses a Runnable instance that is shared between repeated executions, in contrast to Quartz which creates a new Job instance for each execution.

Constructors

<init>

ScheduledExecutorTask()

Create a new ScheduledExecutorTask, to be populated via bean properties.

ScheduledExecutorTask(executorTask: Runnable)

Create a new ScheduledExecutorTask, with default one-time execution without delay.

ScheduledExecutorTask(executorTask: Runnable, delay: Long)

Create a new ScheduledExecutorTask, with default one-time execution with the given delay.

ScheduledExecutorTask(executorTask: Runnable, delay: Long, period: Long, fixedRate: Boolean)

Create a new ScheduledExecutorTask.

Functions

getDelay

open fun getDelay(): Long

Return the delay before starting the job for the first time.

getPeriod

open fun getPeriod(): Long

Return the period between repeated task executions.

getRunnable

open fun getRunnable(): Runnable

Return the Runnable to schedule as executor task.

getTimeUnit

open fun getTimeUnit(): TimeUnit

Return the time unit for the delay and period values.

isFixedRate

open fun isFixedRate(): Boolean

Return whether to schedule as fixed-rate execution.

isOneTimeTask

open fun isOneTimeTask(): Boolean

Is this task only ever going to execute once?

setDelay

open fun setDelay(delay: Long): Unit

Set the delay before starting the task for the first time, in milliseconds. Default is 0, immediately starting the task after successful scheduling.

setFixedRate

open fun setFixedRate(fixedRate: Boolean): Unit

Set whether to schedule as fixed-rate execution, rather than fixed-delay execution. Default is "false", that is, fixed delay.

See ScheduledExecutorService javadoc for details on those execution modes.

setPeriod

open fun setPeriod(period: Long): Unit

Set the period between repeated task executions, in milliseconds.

Default is -1, leading to one-time execution. In case of a positive value, the task will be executed repeatedly, with the given interval inbetween executions.

Note that the semantics of the period value vary between fixed-rate and fixed-delay execution.

Note: A period of 0 (for example as fixed delay) is not supported, simply because java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService itself does not support it. Hence a value of 0 will be treated as one-time execution; however, that value should never be specified explicitly in the first place!

setRunnable

open fun setRunnable(executorTask: Runnable): Unit

Set the Runnable to schedule as executor task.

setTimeUnit

open fun setTimeUnit(timeUnit: TimeUnit): Unit

Specify the time unit for the delay and period values. Default is milliseconds (TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS).
