- Method Detail
  - defer
```
void defer(String period,
           Deferred action)
```
    Defer a certain action for a certain period of time until it is executed. Note that the action is just executed as long as *this* runtime object for which you defer the action still exists in the runtime database. If it disappears before the deferred action triggers, the action will never be executed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    period - of time for which you want to defer an action
    
    action - which should be executed after the given period.
