      com.sun.faban.driver.engine.AgentThread

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

Direct Known Subclasses:

CycleThread, TimeThread

public abstract class AgentThread
extends Thread

Abstract superclass for all driver threads. It provides a factory for instantiating the right implementation depending on the driver specification. Subclasses execute the provided driver, keeps track of response times, think times, transaction counts, etc.

getInstance

public static AgentThread getInstance(String type,
                                      String agentId,
                                      int id,
                                      Class<?> driverClass,
                                      Timer timer,
                                      AgentImpl agent)

Factory method for instantiating the right type of AgentThread.

Parameters:

type - The type of this agent

agentId - The display id of this agent

id - The id of this agent

driverClass - The driver class

timer - The timer object reference

agent - The agent calling this thread

Returns:

An instance of the AgentThread subclass.

run

public final void run()

Entry point for starting the thread. Subclasses do not override this method but override doRun instead. Run implicitly calls doRun.

Specified by:

run in interface Runnable

Overrides:

run in class Thread

getThreadState

public AgentThread.RunState getThreadState()

Obtains the state of the current thread.

Returns:

The state of the current thread.

waitThreadState

public void waitThreadState(AgentThread.RunState state)

Waits for a given state of the thread to arrive.

Parameters:

state - The state to wait for.

getResult

public Metrics getResult()

Return results of this thread.

Returns:

Final stats

stopExecution

public void stopExecution()

Triggers stopping and exiting of this thread.
