Package org.tools4j.nobark.loop

Provides interfaces and classes with simple building blocks for event loops based on executable steps similar to runnables; loops provide direct support for an IdleStrategy and an ExceptionHandler.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ComposableStep	Extension of Step with enhanced functionality facilitating the composition of step chains.
ExceptionHandler	Handler for unexpected exceptions thrown by a Step in a Loop.
IdleStrategy	Handler to define strategy in idle loops when no work is performed.
LoopCondition	While condition for a Loop.
Shutdownable	Shutdownable is a running service such as a thread that can be shutdown orderly or abruptly in a way similar to ExecutorService.
Step	Step is similar to Runnable but returns true if substantial work has been performed.
StepProvider	Provider for Step distinguishing between normal (main loop) steps and shutdown steps that are used during the termination phase of a ShutdownableThread as returned by Loop#start(..).
Stoppable	Stoppable is a running service such as a thread that can be stopped either by calling stop or via Stoppable.close() method of AutoCloseable.

Class Summary

Class	Description
Loop	A loop performing a series of steps in an iterative manner as long as the LoopCondition is true.
ShutdownableThread	A thread that performs a main runnable in a new thread and another shutdown runnable the graceful ShutdownableThread.shutdown() phase of the thread.
StoppableThread	A thread that performs a runnable in a new thread.
