Process trees and termination (original) (raw)

I have a question on the way this is modeled. By introducing a superclass, Process becomes a type of ProcessHandle. That doesn't seem right to me. I expect a Process to have a handle (not be one). Also I think these operations may make more sense as an interface.

Cheers, Paul

Hi,

The next step for JEP 102, Process API Updates is to provide an API to enumerate the hierarchy of processes and to be able to terminate a process tree. This draft javadoc <http://bussund0416/%7Erriggs/pdoc/>update [1] includes: - ProcessHandle class to provide handles to processes, their children, parent, process id and liveness - Process extends ProcessHandle and inherits the new behaviors - Method destroyProcessTree() terminates a process tree Additional functions related to termination and information about processes will be added in a later update. Comments appreciated, Roger [1] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rriggs/ph-apidraft/
