This project is to create a simple Java class that is able to maintain a stack of refresh events, but only fires the very last refresh event. I have a software application where, sometimes the complexity of the data means a screen refresh can take a second. Sometimes, a user will change 100 items. Currently, the application conducts 100 refresh operations. The desired behaviour I require is that an event stack receives these refresh events. Once an event is on the stack, if no other refresh event is received with 0.1 seconds, the event is fired. But, if another event is received within 0.1 seconds then the first refresh is 'ditched' and we now start waiting another 0.1 seconds - and so on. Obviously, the 0.1 seconds is to be configurable. The class will have a java main test class that demonstrates the satisfactory queueing behaviour. All code will be commented.
