Class EventVariable

  javax.realtime.util.EventVariable

public class EventVariable

extends Object

This class represent an Event Variable that can be used to synchronize concurrent thread on the happening of a given event. This implementation of event variable actually laches the signal, and make those available to later invocation of await. This means that, an invocation of the method await would not block if an invocation of the method signal had preceeded it.
