Meter Class
Meter objects may be created in one of the following ways:
- Top-level Meter objects (those whose Container
object is null) are created using the lookupMeter
constructor of the Listener object.
- Subordinate Meter objects of a Container or an Event
are created using the lookupMeter constructor
method of the respective object. Note that the namespace for Meters is separate
from that of Events.
When a Meter object is first created, it's counter value is set to zero. The
value may later be increased by calling the incrementValue
method or changed using setValue.
For more information about creating and using Meters, see the topics in the
section Reporting Performance Data
with Meters.
