a SwingWorker proxy? could i use ActionListener for this?
every 5-sec. i startx number ofThreads that share aSocket
pool.
in my GUI, i've got aJTable that displays the state theSocket
pool:
(column #1) host name
(column #2) # of sockets connected to that host
(column #3) # of sockets that are being used by the runningThreads
and, the objectServPoolManager that manages theSocket pool is also aThread and basically does this.
(1) discovers new servers
(2) opens "y" number ofSocket connections to each new server.
(3) returns an openSocket to aThread's request for a server connection.
etc. etc.
now, in theJFrame that contains theJTable i start a
SwingWorker.
this worker'sdoInBackground() is an infinite loop that
(1) asks theServPoolManager thread for its status
(2) writes these results toJTable.
(3) loop.
so...
is it "acceptable" for aSwingWorker to run as an infinite loop?
or,
how could i connect there-fresh ofJTable to the action
of a change of state in theSocket pool?
is that possible via anActionListener?
this would be ideal solution though.
as aSwing neophite, an infinite loop indoInBackground()
"seems" like a good idea.
normally i would use a
try{ Thread.sleep(123);}catch(InterruptedException e){}
in thedoInBackground() infinite loop.
but, is that necessary in theSwing world?
sinceSwingWorker is so "lite-weight" and pre-emptable,
may the race condition
of an infinite loop is not bad at all and it
will re-fresh myJTable more...
please help.
