Interface TaskCollector

public interface TaskCollector

This interface describes a task collector. Task collectors can be registered in a Scheduler instance with the Scheduler.addTaskCollector(TaskCollector) method. Any registered task collector is queried by the scheduler once a minute. The developer has to implement the getTasks() method, returning a TaskTable whose elements has been collected with a custom logic. In example the list can be extracted from a database.
