  • It makes current executing thread to sleep specified number of milli seconds. Below example shows sample code for thread sleep.

Thread Sleep Sample Code

Code:
package com.myjava.threads;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class MyThreadSuspend {
    public static void main(String a[]){
        List<ExmpThread> list = new ArrayList<ExmpThread>();
        for(int i=0;i<4;i++){
            ExmpThread et = new ExmpThread(i+10);
            list.add(et);
            et.start();
        }
        for(ExmpThread et:list){
            try {
                et.join();
            } catch (InterruptedException ex) { }
        }
    }
}

class ExmpThread extends Thread{
    private int suspendCount;
    public ExmpThread(int count){
        this.suspendCount = count;
    }
    public void run(){
        for(int i=0;i<50;i++){
            if(i%suspendCount == 0){
                try {
                    System.out.println("Thread Sleep: " + getName());
                    Thread.sleep(500);
                } catch (InterruptedException ex) { }
            }
        }
    }
}

doPost Vs doGet methods
doGet() method is used to get information, while doPost() method is used for posting information. doGet() requests can't send large amount of information and is limited to 240-255 characters. However, doPost()requests passes all of its data, of unlimited length. A doGet() request is appended to the request URL in a query string and this allows the exchange is visible to the client, whereas a doPost() request passes directly over the socket connection as part of its HTTP request body and the exchange are invisible to the client.
