package gov.nist.core; import java.util.*; /** * Thread Auditor class: * - Provides a mechanism for applications to check the health of internal threads * - The mechanism is fairly simple: * - Threads register with the auditor at startup and "ping" the auditor every so often. * - The application queries the auditor about the health of the system periodically. The * auditor reports if the threads are healthy or if any of them failed to ping and are * considered dead or stuck. * - The main implication for the monitored threads is that they can no longer block * waiting for an event forever. Any wait() must be implemented with a timeout so that * the thread can periodically ping the auditor. * * This code is in the public domain. * * @author R. Borba (Natural Convergence)
