Class InterruptUtil

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ContextAware

    public class InterruptUtil
    extends ContextAwareBase
    Allows masking of interrupt flag if previously the flag is already set. Does nothing otherwise. Typical use:
     InterruptUtil interruptUtil = new InterruptUtil(context);
     
     try {
         interruptUtil.maskInterruptFlag();
         someOtherThread.join(delay);
     } catch (InterruptedException e) {
         // reachable only if join does not succeed within delay.
         // Without the maskInterruptFlag() call, the join() would have returned
         // immediately
         // had the current thread been interrupted previously, i.e. before entering
         // the above block
     } finally {
         interruptUtil.unmaskInterruptFlag();
     }
