Method Detail

goToSleep

public void goToSleep(java.lang.Runnable onAwakening)

'halt' the current execution in some way. This method should be the last meaningful thing that is done on a request, and work that needs to be done before completion should be done in a Runnable so the system can schedule it at an appropriate time.

Parameters:

onAwakening - The action to take when wakeUp() is called

wakeUp

public void wakeUp()

This method should attempt to resume the execution. It is possible that this method will be called more than once at the same time so Sleepers should be prepared take steps to be woken only once.
