Re: Reading (and threading) DataQueue entries - Best practices

Well, let's just say my first big project on threads made my head ache all
over the place. I wrote a J2ME application for a Canon MFD (Multi Functional
Device) and had to work with the low level hardware API's (basically a
program written in C wrapped by Java).  I learned a lot, but mostly learned
to shudder at the sound of threads :-)  I must say that I don't feel I have
"mastered" threads though I have used them a lot.

Ok, that would make me shudder too.  Rest assured, normal threads in
java are pretty easy to work with.  I would suggest trying to unlearn
the C wrapped in Java stuff and move forward from there.

If anybody has an example of reading a data queue entry and then spawning a
thread that writes some info to a secondary data queue I would be much
appreciative :-)  

Well, I happen to be working on some code right now that's going to do
just that ... but it's not in a form ready to publish yet.

I just threw together a *VERY* basic example ... it's not functional
(and obviously not tested) but it should show the basics.
