Method Detail

start

public void start()

Starts this event dispatcher. this method will silently return if it is already started.

IllegalStateException - if threadPoolSize is not set.

stop

public void stop()

Stops this event dispatcher. This method will silently return if it is already stopped.

isStarted

public boolean isStarted()

Returns true if this event dispatcher is started.

getThreadPoolSize

public int getThreadPoolSize()

Returns the number of dispatcher threads.

setThreadPoolSize

public void setThreadPoolSize(int newSize)

Sets the number of dispatcher threads. This property is adjustable in runtime.

getThreadPriority

public int getThreadPriority()

Returns the priority of dispatcher threads.

setThreadPriority

public void setThreadPriority(int newPriority)

Sets the priority of dispatcher threads.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the specified priority is not between Thread.MIN_PRIORITYand Thread.MAX_PRIORITY.

getThreadNamePrefix

public String getThreadNamePrefix()

Returns the prefix of dispatcher thread name.

setThreadNamePrefix

public void setThreadNamePrefix(String threadNamePrefix)

Sets the prefix of dispatcher thread name. This will help you to determine which thread is which when you debug. The actual thread name will be threadNamePrefix + '-' + threadId.
