Hi,
i do this starting a new Thread in the Application class.
public Application()
{
super();
...
FOTimedMailer.startMailTimer(FOTimedMailer.NEXT);
}
public class FOTimedMailer extends TimerTask
{
...
public static void startMailTimer(int modus)
{
long nextStartAt = 0;
FOTimedMailer mailer = new FOTimedMailer();
Timer aTimer = new Timer();
aTimer.schedule(mailer, nextStartAt);
}
@Override
public void run()
{
// do my stuff
...
if (hasMoreMail)
{
// Start in short period
FOTimedMailer.startMailTimer(FOTimedMailer.NEXT);
}
else
{
// Sleep a while
FOTimedMailer.startMailTimer(FOTimedMailer.SLEEP);
}
}
}

Moving this thread to webobjects-dev as I think it has broader scope
than just Wonder.
I want to create a program that is packaged as a webobjects
application , i.e. MyAgent.woa but currently it doesn't process http
requests. It's main thread just checks for work to do in the database
and then does it. I'm currently not subclassing WOApplication. I
have my own MPVAgent class which subclasses Object. But I can already
see how I could benefit if have it subclass WOApplication (or
ERXApplication) instead of my MPVAgent class.
However, in order to do so, I need to know what method to subclass to
setup my thread that does the main work I described.
Has anybody done something like this? Any advise?
I have lots of these so called agents.

Just unfamiliarity with how to subclass it correctly to make it do
exactly what I want it to do.

I'm unclear as to why your would not extend ERXApplication in your
back end apps, even if they aren't web apps. What are you trying to
avoid? Having them respond to outside requests?

fact it extends a class called Agent that has Object as its super
class.
It has a static method and I currently call
ERXApplication.setup(argv). That goes through the same
intialization as a Wonder app which is something I desire. :-)
But then I noticed that ERXProperties does not load the Properties
files from my frameworks. Then inspecting ERXProperties source I
noticed that the pathsForUserAndBundleProperties() method returns
an empty array because it does not see a WOApplication :
public static NSArray pathsForUserAndBundleProperties(boolean
reportLoggingEnabled) {
NSMutableArray propertiesPaths = new NSMutableArray();
NSMutableArray projectsInfo = new NSMutableArray();
String projectPath, aPropertiesPath;
WOApplication application = WOApplication.application();
if (application == null) {
log.warn("The application is not yet initialized.
Returning an empty array.");
return NSArray.EmptyArray;
}
...
}
Am I out of luck? Should I have MyAgent subclass ERXApplication
and just override the run method?
Any ideas? Am I the only one who has back end apps that are not
web apps? :-)
Thanks
Ricardo
