Class InProgress

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.jini.thread.InProgress

public class InProgress
extends Object

This class provides a blocking mechanism that will not proceed while some operation bounded by this object is in progress. The thread performing the operation invokes start and stop on this object when it starts and stops the operation in progress. The thread that wants to block itself while the operation is in progress invokes waitWhileStarted, which will block if start has been invoked without a matching stop. The block will continue until a matching stop is invoked. Each start adds one to the number of operations; each stop subtracts one. When the number of operations is zero, the operation bounded by this object is not in progress, and waitWhileStarted will return.

The operation can also be blocked by invoking block and unblock, which nest like start and stop. When a block is invoked on this object, no start will proceed until the matching unblock call is made. The reverse is also true: when a stop call has been made on this object, no block call will proceed until the matching stop call is made. A waitUntilUnblocked method allows selective waiting for the unblocked state without invoking start.

A waitUntilQuiet call waits until the object is neither blocked nor stopped.
