Checking if periodic ScheduledFuture is running now

Question

I have a periodic task scheduled via Spring TaskScheduler.schedule(Runnable, Trigger).

Given the returned ScheduledFuture, is there any way to check, if the task is running at current moment?

Answer 1

You can change you Runnable like this:

class Runner implements Runnable{
    public volatile boolean RUNNING = false;
        public void run(){

        RUNNING = true;
        try{
            // Your code
        } finally {
            RUNNING = false;
        }
    }
}

edit Thought operations with boolean are atomic and don't need to be volatile.
