Overview

The Tuplespace manages access to the tuples it contains, ensuring mutual exclusion requirements are met.

The sec option for the write, take, move, read and notify methods may either be a number of seconds or a Renewer object.

.new(period = 60) ⇒ TupleSpace

Creates a new TupleSpace. period is used to control how often to look for dead tuples after modifications to the TupleSpace.

If no dead tuples are found period seconds after the last modification, the TupleSpace will stop looking for dead tuples.

    #notify(event, tuple, sec = nil)  
  



  

    

Registers for notifications of event.  Returns a NotifyTemplateEntry. See NotifyTemplateEntry for examples of how to listen for notifications.



event can be:


‘write’



A tuple was added


‘take’



A tuple was taken or moved


‘delete’



A tuple was lost after being overwritten or expiring





The TupleSpace will also notify you of the ‘close’ event when the NotifyTemplateEntry has expired.
