Method Detail

schedule

<T> Cancellable schedule(Supplier<T> producer,
                         Duration delay)

Schedule to deliver an event to the FSM at some later point in time. The event that will be delivered is the one created by the supplied producer. I.e., when the time is up, the producer will be called and the returned object will be given to the FSM that scheduled this event. NOTE: a small note regarding who will guarantee that the above statement is true. I.e., both to actually run a scheduler and then to guarantee that the calling FSM is the one that receives it, well, that depends on the runtime environment where hektor-fsm is running. The raw hektor-fsm actually doesn't provide a runtime environment so if you were to use the raw fsm framework, you will have to implement and guarantee this. Or, if you don't feel like it, pick a runtime environment provided by the rest of the hektor family, such as hektor-fsm-actor.
