Package com.mirth.connect.server.userutil

Class Future<V>

java.lang.Object
com.mirth.connect.server.userutil.Future<V>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Future<V>
public class Future<V> extends Object implements Future<V>
A Future represents the result of an asynchronous computation. Methods are provided to check if the computation is complete, to wait for its completion, and to retrieve the result of the computation. The result can only be retrieved using method get when the computation has completed, blocking if necessary until it is ready. Cancellation is performed by the cancel method. Additional methods are provided to determine if the task completed normally or was cancelled. Once a computation has completed, the computation cannot be cancelled. If you would like to use a Future for the sake of cancellability but not provide a usable result, you can declare types of the form Future<?> and return null as a result of the underlying task.

  • Method Details

    • cancel

      public boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)
      Attempts to cancel execution of this task. This attempt will fail if the task has already completed, has already been cancelled, or could not be cancelled for some other reason. If successful, and this task has not started when cancel is called, this task should never run. If the task has already started, then the mayInterruptIfRunning parameter determines whether the thread executing this task should be interrupted in an attempt to stop the task. After this method returns, subsequent calls to isDone() will always return true. Subsequent calls to isCancelled() will always return true if this method returned true.
      Specified by:
      cancel in interface Future<V>
      Parameters:
      mayInterruptIfRunning - true if the thread executing this task should be interrupted; otherwise, in-progress tasks are allowed to complete
      Returns:
      false if the task could not be cancelled, typically because it has already completed normally; true otherwise

    • isCancelled

      public boolean isCancelled()
      Returns true if this task was cancelled before it completed normally.
      Specified by:
      isCancelled in interface Future<V>
      Returns:
      true if this task was cancelled before it completed

    • isDone

      public boolean isDone()
      Returns true if this task completed. Completion may be due to normal termination, an exception, or cancellation -- in all of these cases, this method will return true.
      Specified by:
      isDone in interface Future<V>
      Returns:
      true if this task completed

    • get

      public V get() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException
      Waits if necessary for the computation to complete, and then retrieves its result.
      Specified by:
      get in interface Future<V>
      Returns:
      the computed result
      Throws:
      CancellationException - if the computation was cancelled
      ExecutionException - if the computation threw an exception
      InterruptedException - if the current thread was interrupted while waiting

    • get

      public V get(long timeoutInMillis) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException
      Waits if necessary for at most the given time for the computation to complete, and then retrieves its result, if available.
      Parameters:
      timeoutInMillis - the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds
      Returns:
      the computed result
      Throws:
      CancellationException - if the computation was cancelled
      ExecutionException - if the computation threw an exception
      InterruptedException - if the current thread was interrupted while waiting
      TimeoutException - if the wait timed out

    • get

      public V get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException
      Waits if necessary for at most the given time for the computation to complete, and then retrieves its result, if available.
      Specified by:
      get in interface Future<V>
      Parameters:
      timeout - the maximum time to wait
      unit - the time unit of the timeout argument
      Returns:
      the computed result
      Throws:
      CancellationException - if the computation was cancelled
      ExecutionException - if the computation threw an exception
      InterruptedException - if the current thread was interrupted while waiting
      TimeoutException - if the wait timed out
