AlarmClock

This is a rough rendering of a page from the old Prevayler wiki. Please see the new wiki for current documentation.

The clock used by every business object in a PrevalentSystem for ALL its date/time related functions.

If any business object were to access the system clock directly, with methods like new Date() and System.currentTimeMillis(), its behaviour would NOT be deterministic. -- KlausWuestefeld


A future version of AlarmClock will be able to wake up other objects in a way similar to javax.swing.Timer and java.util.Timer. -- KlausWuestefeld
