Class Queue2

public class Queue2 extends Object

Elements are added at the tail and removed from the head. Class is thread-safe in that 1 producer and 1 consumer may add/remove elements concurrently. The class is not explicitely designed for multiple producers or consumers. Implemented as a linked list, so that removal of an element at the head does not cause a right-shift of the remaining elements (as in a Vector-based implementation).

Implementation is based on util.concurrent.* classes

Queue2

public Queue2()
creates an empty queue

Method Detail

add

public void add(Object obj)
adds an object to the tail of this queue If the queue has been closed with close(true) no exception will be thrown if the queue has not been flushed yet.

Parameters: obj - the object to be added to the queue

Throws: QueueClosedException exception if closed() returns true

addAtHead

public void addAtHead(Object obj)
Adds a new object to the head of the queue basically (obj.equals(queue.remove(queue.add(obj)))) returns true If the queue has been closed with close(true) no exception will be thrown if the queue has not been flushed yet.

Parameters: obj - the object to be added to the queue

Throws: QueueClosedException exception if closed() returns true

close

public void close(boolean flush_entries)
Marks the queues as closed. When an add or remove operation is attempted on a closed queue, an exception is thrown.

Parameters: flush_entries When true, a end-of-entries marker is added to the end of the queue. Entries may be added and removed, but when the end-of-entries marker is encountered, the queue is marked as closed. This allows to flush pending messages before closing the queue.

closed

public boolean closed()
returns true if the Queue has been closed however, this method will return false if the queue has been closed using the close(true) method and the last element has yet not been received.

Returns: true if the queue has been closed

debug

public String debug()
Dumps internal state @remove

getContents

public Vector getContents()
returns a vector with all the objects currently in the queue

getFirst

public Object getFirst()
Returns the first element. Returns null if no elements are available.

getLast

public Object getLast()
Returns the last element. Returns null if no elements are available.

peek

public Object peek()
returns the first object on the queue, without removing it. If the queue is empty this object blocks until the first queue object has been added

Returns: the first object on the queue

peek

public Object peek(long timeout)
returns the first object on the queue, without removing it. If the queue is empty this object blocks until the first queue object has been added or the operation times out

Parameters: timeout how long in milli seconds will this operation wait for an object to be added to the queue before it times out

Returns: the first object on the queue

remove

public Object remove()
Removes 1 element from head or blocks until next element has been added or until queue has been closed

Returns: the first element to be taken of the queue

remove

public Object remove(long timeout)
Removes 1 element from the head. If the queue is empty the operation will wait for timeout ms. if no object is added during the timeout time, a Timout exception is thrown

Parameters: timeout - the number of milli seconds this operation will wait before it times out

Returns: the first object in the queue

removeElement

public void removeElement(Object obj)
removes a specific object from the queue. the object is matched up using the Object.equals method.

Parameters: obj the actual object to be removed from the queue

reset

public void reset()
resets the queue. This operation removes all the objects in the queue and marks the queue open

size

public int size()
returns the number of objects that are currently in the queue

toString

public String toString()
prints the size of the queue

waitUntilEmpty

public void waitUntilEmpty(long timeout)
Blocks until the queue has no elements left. If the queue is empty, the call will return immediately

Parameters: timeout Call returns if timeout has elapsed (number of milliseconds). 0 means to wait forever

Throws: QueueClosedException Thrown if queue has been closed TimeoutException Thrown if timeout has elapsed
