Interface AsynchronousFlow

All Known Implementing Classes:

MockAsynchronousFlow

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface AsynchronousFlow

Provides an unmanaged asynchronous flow outside the ManagedFunction.

This allows plugging in other asynchronous libraries to enable asynchronous operations within a ManagedFunction. This can include running asynchronous operations on different Thread instances of the third party library.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	complete(AsynchronousFlowCompletion completion)	Invoked by application code once the AsynchronousFlow is complete.

Method Details

complete

void complete(AsynchronousFlowCompletion completion)

Invoked by application code once the AsynchronousFlow is complete.

Note that only the first invocation of this method is considered. All further invocations are ignored.

Furthermore, if the AsynchronousFlow takes too long to complete then all invocations are ignored. The ManagedFunction will be throwing an AsynchronousFlowTimedOutEscalation.

Parameters:

completion - AsynchronousFlowCompletion to update ManagedObject state and possibly throw failures.
