Pausing/ Resuming Thread Using Tool From java.util.concurrent.

[yccheok]

Hi, may I know is there any technique avaible, for pausing/ resuming
execution of the thread, which is inside while loop, by using tools
from java.util.concurrent.

1) I do not want to use busy pooling, it is ugly and wasting CPU
resource.

2) Is the following a proven bug free method?

public synchronized void pauseWork() {
request = PAUSE;
notify();
}

public synchronized void resumeWork() {
if (request == PAUSE) {
request = RESUME;
notify();
}
}

private void waitIfPauseRequest()
throws InterruptedException {

synchronized (this) {
if (request == PAUSE) {
while (request != RESUME) {
wait();
}

request = NORMAL;
}
}
}
