<em>Spin</em> offers a transparent threading solution for developing
98
non-freezing Swing applications.
101
Let <code>bean</code> be a reference to a non-visual (possibly
102
multithreaded) bean implementing the interface <code>Bean</code> whose
103
methods have to be called by a Swing component. You can avoid any freezing by
104
using one line of code:
107
bean = (Bean)Spin.off(bean);
110
Now each method call on <code>bean</code> is executed on a separate thread,
111
while the EDT is continuing to dispatch events. All return values or
112
exceptions are handled by <em>Spin</em> and transparently returned to the
116
For calls from other threads than the EDT to your Swing component you can use
117
the following (being <ode>XYListener</code> any interface your component
121
bean.addXYListener((XYListener)Spin.over(component);
124
Now all required updates to your component (and/or its model) are
125
transparently excuted on the EDT.
