Class BatonMessageBox<V>

java.lang.Object
  threadExamples.BatonMessageBox<V>

Type Parameters:

V - The type of object that can be put into a BatonMessageBox.

public class BatonMessageBox<V>
extends java.lang.Object

Implements a message box which can hold only a single message at a time. Behavior is almost identical to that of SimpleMessageBox, but the implementation is different: put and get are not synchronized methods, but instead use an explicit (though otherwise unimportant) object for synchronization.
