Package com.sun.dtv.resources Description

Provides a basic framework for scarce resources.

Description

This generic framework is used by classes that represents physical resources within the platform that requires a basic lock handling. The ScarceResource interface is meant to be used by the implementation.

Application are given a mean to request for a resource in a more or less friendly manner: assuming the corresponding right is granted, an application may force a reservation letting the current owner losing its resource. On the other side, an application is well informed about any intentions of having its resource being requested by other applications.

This package is composed by the following classes:

ScarceResource: is the interface to be implemented by any classes representing a physical resource. Allows to reserve or release that resource;
ScarceResourceListener: allows an application to get informed whenever a resource is being or is about to be released;
ScarceResourcePermission: allows to control the access to a given scarce resource. An application may be granted the right to reserve or even to force the reservation of a scarce resource.
ResourceEventListener: allows an application to follow events related to reservation/release of any resources (of a given type). The listener registration is offered by specialized scarce resource classes.
