Message:

to throw an event

Posted by venky on May 29, 2001 at 3:17 AM

Hi Toshiko,

Pls see Timer class and Timer Task interface in JDK1.3.
These are new class introduced in JDK1.3.

You can register your timertask to timer class and after the delay you wanted the timer task is invoked periodically and you can implement the logic in the run() method of the Timer Interface.

Hope this helps
