Scripting with beanshell - making a thread solution...

Ok here is the problem i have and are looking for ideas how to solve it. We have a single threadded server that are using beanshell scripts.

Now... inside the scripts we want to be able to sleep (wait).

For example:

void run(){

print("test");

wait(5);// wait 5 seconds

print("test2");

}

So what i would basically want is that the script is put into somekind of queue, where it will reside for 5 seconds. And then the server would step through the queue and if 5 seconds has passed it would continue executing...

Is there any "easy" solution to fix this?

Can I guess you want to do this because you don't want the excuting thread to pause?Why don't you just spawn a new thread to execute the script? Then it won't block normal execution but can pause as it likes.

Since the script may not concurrently modify anything else in the server. It is a single threadded server (most of it).

The only solution i come up with so far is making the script call a "script manager" to do the waiting, and with that add a "callback" method.

So the script would be like

run(){

print("test");

manager.wait(2, "step2()");

}

step2(){

print("test2");

}

The manager would take care of making sure that the callback method is called at the correct time.
