Rickard,
Great stuff - I think there's a lot of cool things WW can do to become an
uber-command framework.
For example someone (Noah?) sent me via email his ActionPool implementation,
which is a funky idea!
Basic usage is something like this: (an ActionPool is just an Action with
special powers!)
ActionPool pool = (ActionPool)ActionFactory.getAction("poolImpl");
pool.setSize(2);
pool.addAction(anotherAction);
pool.addAction(anotherAction2);
pool.addAction(anotherAction3);
pool.addAction(anotherAction4);
pool.addAction(anotherAction5);
pool.execute();
This will now execute the 5 pooled actions simultaneously (using up to
pool.size() threads) and execute will return when all other actions have
been executed and when the last one completes.
Funky stuff!
If I get time, I'll clean it up and submit. (I think that's why he sent it
to me - I forget)
Yell if you want it.
Cheers,
Mike
