Hi Shiv,
The Camel component maintains a Map of the Timer objects that the endpoint
check when this method is called
public synchronized Timer getTimer() {
if (timer == null) {
TimerComponent tc = (TimerComponent)getComponent();
timer = tc.getTimer(this); // CALL GET TIMER
}
return timer;
}
--> WE CALL THE GETTIMER
public Timer getTimer(TimerEndpoint endpoint) {
String key = endpoint.getTimerName();
if (!endpoint.isDaemon()) {
key = "nonDaemon:" + key;
}
Timer answer;
synchronized (timers) {
answer = timers.get(key);
if (answer == null) {
// the timer name is also the thread name, so lets resolve
a name to be used
String name =
endpoint.getCamelContext().getExecutorServiceManager().resolveThreadName("timer://"
+ endpoint.getTimerName()); // ENDPOINT NAME = THREADNAME
answer = new Timer(name, endpoint.isDaemon());
timers.put(key, answer);
}
}
return answer;
}
As you can see the name of the timer endpoint is used to do a lookup and
find the ThreadName associated and given it as parameter to the Timer class
of the JDK to create the timer job.
To answer to your question, if the name of the endpoint is the same, the
same Thread object and Thread will be used.
Regards,
