Scripting with beanshell - making a thread solution...

Question

Ok here is the problem i have and are looking for ideas how to solve it. We have a single threadded server that are using beanshell scripts.
Now... inside the scripts we want to be able to sleep (wait).
For example:
void run(){
    print("test");
    wait(5); // wait 5 seconds
    print("test2");
}So what i would basically want is that the script is put into somekind of queue, where it will reside for 5 seconds. And then the server would step through the queue and if 5 seconds has passed it would continue executing...
Is there any "easy" solution to fix this?

Answer 1

The only solution i come up with so far is making the script call a "script manager" to do the waiting, and with that add a "callback" method.
So the script would be like
run(){
  print("test");
  manager.wait(2, "step2()");
step2(){
  print("test2");
}The manager would take care of making sure that the callback method is called at the correct time.
