Question

I want to force method run for specified time.

 public Response run(Request req){
    //method runImpl must run during specified interval of time(for example for 10 secs)
    Response res = runImpl(req);
    return response;
    }

What is the best way to do this?Thanks!

Answer 1

runImpl should return a boolean for this code to work. You’ll probably want this in a new Thread (basic tutorials abound) if you don’t want your program stalled until it finishes.

public Response run(Request req){
long lasttime=Sys.getTime();
int i=0;
while(i<10){
   if(Response res = runImpl(req);){
   return response;
   }
   if((Sys.getTime-lasttime)>1000){
   i++;
   lasttime=Sys.getTime();
   }
}
return null;

This runs every processor moment, if you want it to run on an interval AS WELL as running for 10 seconds, use:

public Response run(Request req){
long lasttime=Sys.getTime();
int i=0;
for(int i; i<(10000/yourchoiceinterval); i++){
   if(Response res = runImpl(req);){
   return response;
   }
   if((Sys.getTime-lasttime)>1000){
   lasttime=Sys.getTime();
   }
}
return null;
