scheduling

I know that DateTimeOffset stores a UTC date/time and an offset. I also know from this MSDN blog entry that DateTimeOffset should be used to "Work with daylight saving times". What I'm struggling to understand is exactly how DateTimeOffset "work(s) with daylight saving times". My understanding, little that there is, is that daylight saving times are a political decision and cannot be inferred from purely an offset. How can it be that this structure is DST friendly if it only stores an offset? I gather there may be a way to use the TimeZoneInfo class in conjunction with DateTimeOffset. How

I use ScheduledExecutorService to execute a method periodically. p-code: ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(); ScheduledFuture<?> handle = scheduler.scheduleWithFixedDelay(new Runnable() { public void run() { //Do business logic, may Exception occurs } }, 1, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); My question: How to continue the scheduler, if run() throws Exception? Should I try-catch all Exception in method run() ? Or any built-in callback method to handle the Exception? Thanks! arun_suresh You should use the ScheduledFuture object returned by your scheduler

Looking through the scheduler source code (2.6.34, kernel/sched.c), I can see how the "pluggable" schedulers are used, and I believe I understand the interface to be implemented. What I don't understand yet is how to get my code built into the kernel. At the very least, pointers to other sites would be appreciated. Right now, I'm grepping for SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, and SCHED_NORMAL in the kernel source tree, so really I'm looking for a more insightful way to look at it :-) EDIT: As some background, I'm very familiar with the FreeBSD scheduler (and the FreeBSD kernel in general), so I'm not

From reading on Stack Overflow I've seen that many of you don't recommend using Timer Task. Hmmm... but I already implemented this: I have this code: detectionHandlerTimer.schedule(myTimerTask, 60 * 1000, 60 * 1000); The thing is that work of myTimerTask lasts some time. I would like this behavior: wait 60 sec. do task for some time (e.g. 40 - 100 sec). task finished. wait 60 seconds. do task for some time (e.g. 40 - 100 sec). But the code above behaves like this wait 60 sec. do task for some time (e.g. 40 - 100 sec). task finished do task for some time (e.g. 40 - 100 sec). Because the time

I'm not an expert, just a beginner. So I kindly ask that you write some code for me. If I have two classes, CLASS A and CLASS B , and inside CLASS B there is a function called funb() . I want to call this function from CLASS A every ten minutes. You have already given me some ideas, however I didn't quite understand. Can you post some example code, please? Have a look at the ScheduledExecutorService : Here is a class with a method that sets up a ScheduledExecutorService to beep every ten seconds for an hour: import static java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.*; class BeeperControl { private final

Besides setting and exact time (i.e. midnight) versus setting a delay (i.e. 24 hours), what's the difference between using AlarmManager and ScheduledExecutorService to run a task periodically? In my case, I need to run a little bit of code to check for new data every night and create a new notification if there is new data. Thanks! inazaruk ScheduledExecutorService runs in your application process. If application process dies, none of the scheduled tasks will run. Hence the need for Service (so your process lives beyond Activities active part of lifecycle). While AlarmManager is critical

I'm having a tough time understanding the difference between various methods of the com.google.gwt.core.client.Scheduler interface, specifically, the scheduleDeferred , scheduleFinally , and scheduleIncremental methods. I'm hampered in my understanding, I think, by my unfamiliarity with the browser event processing loop, to which the Scheduler documentation refers. Would you please explain how these methods differ from each other, and how they work in relation to the browser event loop? JavaScript (in a browser) is single threaded. The event loop model means, we're always in exactly one of two
