An NSDelayedCallbackCenter object (also called a delayed callback center) provides a way to guarantee that particular methods are invoked after an event has ended. You can register selectors with the delayed callback center. The center, in turn, invokes them when the event ends. In WebObjects, this happens at then end of the current WebObjects request-response cycle.
When you register a selector, you also specify a priority, which determines the order in which it is invoked relative to the other selectors. The selectors are invoked in order of ascending priority. To register a selector with the delayed callback center, use performSelector. To cancel it before the event ends, use cancelPerformSelector.
The event loop invokes eventEnded to indicate that the current event has ended. The eventEnded method invokes the queued selectors.
Each task has a default delayed callback center that you access with the defaultCenter static method.
