[Solved] Usage of TaskScheduler?

[ThomasLund]

I'm in need of periodically (every 300 seconds) sending a status to an external system.

I can see that there is a TaskScheduler that I can access through the SmartFoxServer instance, but its not included in the documentation.

So question is, if I should use this class - and if there are some best practice examples anywhere?

My best guess is that the TaskScheduler is similar to the Java5+ scheduler functionality described here:

http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/inde ... _Java5.htm

But want to make sure that this is correct.

Thanks

Hmmm - for testing I tried to do the following:

Code: Select all

taskScheduler = SmartFoxServer.getInstance().getTaskScheduler();
taskScheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(new SendServerStatusToMoodle(this), 0, 3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);


And it seems to work - sort of. Its ignoring my 3 second timer and instead doing:

Code: Select all

16:15:52,640 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1] Extensions     - {__lib__}: Sending server status
16:17:07,768 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1] Extensions     - {__lib__}: Sending server status
16:18:22,785 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1] Extensions     - {__lib__}: Sending server status
16:19:37,801 INFO  [pool-2-thread-1] Extensions     - {__lib__}: Sending server status


Quick math seems to have translated my 3 seconds into 75 seconds?!?!?!?!

Where you able to understand what's going on? Did you restart the machine?

Booting didnt help.

I suspect the latest Apple Java update to be buggy.

No matter what I write as time setting, it ignores it and uses 5 or 15 or 75 seconds (etc)

Non SFS related. Its something inside my own code doing this
