Method Detail

defer

void defer(String period,
         Deferred action)

Defer a certain action for a certain period of time until it is executed. Note that the action is just executed as long as *this* runtime object for which you defer the action still exists in the runtime database. If it disappears before the deferred action triggers, the action will never be executed.

Parameters:

period - of time for which you want to defer an action

action - which should be executed after the given period.
