getPeriodicity

public int getPeriodicity()

Gets the periodicity of this configurator in minutes. A periodicity of 0 means that the configurator is not called automatically.

Periodicity of configurator in minutes

setPeriodicity

public void setPeriodicity(int mins)

Sets the periodicity of this configurator in minutes. This means that configure() will be automatically called every mins. Setting the periodicity to 0 turns off that automatic call.

Parameters:

mins - Periodicity of configurator in minutes

getException
