Field Summary

int	appendTimeoutTime
static int	DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT Default timeout of 0 for a blocking append call
static int	DEFAULT_GET_TIMEOUT Default timeout of 0 for a blocking get call
static int	DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE Default size of 32 for the queue if none is specified.
int	getTimeoutTime
java.util.Vector	items

Constructor Summary

Queue()
Constructs the queue with the default queue size set to DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE, and the append timeout set to DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT

Queue(int size)
Constructs the queue, sets the max number of queueable items to the given size, sets the append timeout to DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT, and sets the get timeout to DEFAULT_GET_TIMEOUT

Queue(int size, int appendTimeout, int getTimeout)
Constructs the queue, sets the max number of queueable items to the given size, and sets the append() and get() timeouts to the given values.

Method Summary

void	append(java.lang.Object item) Appends the given item to the queue.
void	appendTimeout() This is called every time we timeout while waiting to append something to the queue.
int	count() Returns the number of items currently in the queue.
java.lang.Object	get() Pulls an item off of the queue.
void	getTimeout() Pretty much the same thing as the getTimeout() method, but for blocking get() timeouts.
void	newQueue(int size, int appendTimeout, int getTimeout)
int	queueSize() Returns the size of the queue
void	resize(int newsize) Resizes the queue so that it can contain at most the given number of items in it.

Field Detail

items

public java.util.Vector items

public int getTimeoutTime

DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE

public static int DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE

Default size of 32 for the queue if none is specified.

Constructor Detail

Queue

public Queue()

Constructs the queue with the default queue size set to DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE, and the append timeout set to DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT

See Also:

DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE, DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT

Queue

public Queue(int size)

Constructs the queue, sets the max number of queueable items to the given size, sets the append timeout to DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT, and sets the get timeout to DEFAULT_GET_TIMEOUT

Parameters:

size - The maximum size of the queue

See Also:

DEFAULT_APPEND_TIMEOUT

Queue

public Queue(int size,
             int appendTimeout,
             int getTimeout)

Constructs the queue, sets the max number of queueable items to the given size, and sets the append() and get() timeouts to the given values.

Parameters:

size - The maximum size of the queue

appendTimeout - If we can't append() within this many milliseconds, the appendTimeout() method is called before retrying.

getTimeout - If we can't get() something within this many milliseconds, the getTimeout() method is called.

See Also:

appendTimeout(), getTimeout()

Method Detail

newQueue

public void newQueue(int size,
                     int appendTimeout,
                     int getTimeout)

queueSize

public int queueSize()

Returns the size of the queue

count

public int count()

Returns the number of items currently in the queue.

append

public void append(java.lang.Object item)

Appends the given item to the queue. This method calls a synchronized append method, so that it won't interfere with a get call. The method will block if the queue is full, and it won't block otherwise.

Parameters:

item - The item to be appended to the queue

get

public java.lang.Object get()

Pulls an item off of the queue. This method will block until something is found. This method is synchronized so it doesn't interfere with the append call.

Returns:

The bottom object of the queue.

appendTimeout

public void appendTimeout()

This is called every time we timeout while waiting to append something to the queue. You can use this to figure out if you want to increase the queue size. A real hacker could override this to keep statistics, and use the resize() function to increase the size of the queue after a bunch of timeouts. NOTE - DON'T use the resize() method from within this method - the code will hang forever. You should instead flag another thread to do the resize.

See Also:

appendTimeoutTime

getTimeout

public void getTimeout()

Pretty much the same thing as the getTimeout() method, but for blocking get() timeouts. REMEMBER: DON'T call resize() from within this method.

See Also:

getTimeoutTime

resize

public void resize(int newsize)

Resizes the queue so that it can contain at most the given number of items in it. Note - the queue may already have more than the given number of items in it, if so, nothing will be allowed in the queue until it shrinks to contain fewer than the new maximum number of elements in it.

Parameters:

newsize - The new maximum size of the queue
