Class Timer

java.lang.Object

com.ausregistry.jtoolkit2.Timer

public final class Timer
extends java.lang.Object

Provides time-related services, such as calculation of time intervals in various precisions and configuration of timing to use either real world or simulated time, to be set by the user. The simulated time features are primarily for supporting repeatable testing. Uses the debug, support and user level loggers.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static long	msDiff(long compareTime) Calculates the difference in time between a given time and now..
static long	now() Calculates the current time based on either the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch or a fixed time when using a simulated time.
static void	setTime(java.lang.String dateString) Sets the simulated time and forces the Toolkit to use a simulated fixed time.
static void	useRealTime() Resets the Toolkit to use the current milliseconds rather than a simulated time.

Method Detail

useRealTime

public static void useRealTime()

Resets the Toolkit to use the current milliseconds rather than a simulated time.

now

public static long now()

Calculates the current time based on either the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch or a fixed time when using a simulated time.

Returns:

the time

msDiff

public static long msDiff(long compareTime)

Calculates the difference in time between a given time and now..

Parameters:

compareTime - the compare time

Returns:

the difference

setTime

public static void setTime(java.lang.String dateString)

Sets the simulated time and forces the Toolkit to use a simulated fixed time.

Parameters:

dateString - a date represented in the format "yyyyMMdd.HHmmss".
