Method Detail

phase

public void phase(int i)
           throws InterruptedException

Blocks until all the previous phases are completed, and returns when the specified phase i is started. If the calling thread was executing an earlier phase, that phase is marked as completed.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the sequential lock protocol is aborted, or the thread that owns the current phase has quit.

InterruptedException

done

public void done()

Marks the current phase completed that the calling thread was executing.

This is only necessary when the thread exits the last phase, as phase(int) call implies the done() call.

abort

public void abort()

Tell all the threads that this sequencing was aborted. Everyone waiting for future phases will receive an error.

Calling this method from the finally block prevents a dead lock if one of the participating thread aborts with an exception, as without the explicit abort operation, other threads will block forever for a phase that'll never come.
