acquire
public void acquire()
throws InterruptedException
- Description copied from interface:
Sync
- Wait (possibly forever) until successful passage.
Fail only upon interuption. Interruptions always result in
`clean' failures. On failure, you can be sure that it has not
been acquired, and that no
corresponding release should be performed. Conversely,
a normal return guarantees that the acquire was successful.
- Specified by:
acquire
in interface Sync
InterruptedException
release
public void release()
- Description copied from interface:
Sync
- Potentially enable others to pass.
Because release does not raise exceptions,
it can be used in `finally' clauses without requiring extra
embedded try/catch blocks. But keep in mind that
as with any java method, implementations may
still throw unchecked exceptions such as Error or NullPointerException
when faced with uncontinuable errors. However, these should normally
only be caught by higher-level error handlers.

attempt
public boolean attempt(long msecs)
throws InterruptedException
- Description copied from interface:
Sync
- Wait at most msecs to pass; report whether passed.
The method has best-effort semantics:
The msecs bound cannot
be guaranteed to be a precise upper bound on wait time in Java.
Implementations generally can only attempt to return as soon as possible
after the specified bound. Also, timers in Java do not stop during garbage
collection, so timeouts can occur just because a GC intervened.
So, msecs arguments should be used in
a coarse-grained manner. Further,
implementations cannot always guarantee that this method
will return at all without blocking indefinitely when used in
unintended ways. For example, deadlocks may be encountered
when called in an unintended context.
- Specified by:
attempt
in interface Sync
- Parameters:
msecs
- the number of milleseconds to wait.
An argument less than or equal to zero means not to wait at all.
However, this may still require
access to a synchronization lock, which can impose unbounded
delay if there is a lot of contention among threads.
- Returns:
- true if acquired
InterruptedException
