Class Queue


  • public class Queue
    extends java.lang.Object
    Elements are added at the tail and removed from the head. Class is thread-safe in that 1 producer and 1 consumer may add/remove elements concurrently. The class is not explicitely designed for multiple producers or consumers. Implemented as a linked list, so that removal of an element at the head does not cause a right-shift of the remaining elements (as in a Vector-based implementation).
