Class Worker

  java.lang.Thread
      pt.digitalis.iss.Worker

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public final class Worker
extends Thread

This class implements a Worker: a thread entity that executes requests. When the worker is created and started it fetches a request from it's associated ISS and serves and returns the request. The worker will repeat this fetch-serve-return loop while there are requests on the ISS's waiting queue. When the queue is empty the Worker notifies the ISS that it's duty is over and ceases to exist. The class is final so no one can change the way the Worker works (no pun intended). If some changes were made to the Worker by subclassing the ISS might not function properly. The Worker is a private part of the ISS and thus not meant to be extended.
