Class SimpleArbitrator

java.lang.Object

com.raspoid.behavioral.SimpleArbitrator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Arbitrator

public class SimpleArbitrator
extends java.lang.Object
implements Arbitrator

Implementation of a simple arbitrator scheme between behaviors. The behaviors are checked regularly and the behavior with higher priority is executed. The monitor delay can be set with a custom value to better fit the needs. A behavior with a reference to the arbitrator can also trigger an immediate priority check.
