Class TimerTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

@Deprecated
public final class TimerTask
extends TimerTask

Deprecated.

Will remove in future releases. Please see net.sf.eBus.client.EScheduledExecutor.

An eBus.util.TimerTask associates a timer task with a TimerTaskListener. When the timer expires, TimerTaskListener.handleTimeout(TimerEvent) where EventObject.getSource() returns the value passed to the TimerTask(TimerTaskListener, Object) constructor.

In eBus v. 4.2.0, TimerTaskListener is marked as a @FunctionalInterface. This allows the listener to be defined using a lambda expression.

If TimerTaskListener.handleTimeout(TimerEvent) throws an exception, the exception stack trace is logged at the warning level.
