Class StateFreezer

java.lang.Object

com.nt.udc.util.state.StateFreezer

All Implemented Interfaces:

IntegerCallback

public class StateFreezer
extends java.lang.Object
implements IntegerCallback

This class is responsible for freezing the state of the appropriately registered StateFreezable Objects. Once the Objects have been frozen, other routines may be run with the guarantee that all data processing has been halted. Typically, there will be at least one Object per running thread that drives the processing, and needs to be frozen. As an example, if the state of a node needs saving, then all running threads must be frozen so that the relavent can be written to disk.
