Class com.ibm.tspaces.Semaphore 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----com.ibm.tspaces.Semaphore
public class Semaphore
extends Object
implements Serializable
Class semaphore is a simple counting semaphore; be careful not to use it when already in a synchronized method. Although semaphore uses wait, I don't think that recusively releases all locks on classes that are on the stack

Variable Index

o setUsed
decrement the semaphore, make sure your code is able to call this method --- wherever you call decr from had better not be holding locks that are needed for the other part to call incr

Constructor Index

Method Index

o decr()
o incr(SuperTuple)
increment the semaphore, make sure your code is able to call this method --- wherever you call decr from had better not be holding locks that are needed for the other part to call incr
