Interface JIPCEvent

All Superinterfaces:: JIPCPrimitive

public interface JIPCEvent
extends JIPCPrimitive

Event synchronization object. It provides the same functionality as event object in Win32. Event can be either with manual reset or with automatic reset. In first case evet remains in signaled state until been explcitely reset by user. Evet with automatic reset is switched to non-signled state after first wait request.

Semantic of methods inherited from JIPCPrimitive:

waitFor: Wait until event is set to signaled state. If event is already in signaled state then method immediatly returns and event with automatic reset is switched to non-signaled state
reset: Switch event to non-signaled state
