Documentation bug: Timer and Timer Task

beagles

September 2011 in Bug Reports

The current Timer and TimerTask documentation in the Ice Manual contains some errors with respect to the current version of Ice (3.4.2).

• The fourth and fifth paragraphs from the bottom are incorrect with respect to once-only tasks. The code appears to treat once-only tasks in a manner similar to repeated tasks; calling cancel() on a once-only task does indeed prevent it from executing and will return true if it succeeds in doing so.
• The last paragraph indicates that calling schedule or scheduleRepeated on a destroyed timer does nothing, yet both these functions throw an IllegalArgumentException if this occurs.

Cheers,

Brent
