Interface IMessageBus.IPostCommand<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

SyncAsyncPostCommand

Enclosing interface:

IMessageBus<T,P extends IMessageBus.IPostCommand>

public static interface IMessageBus.IPostCommand<T>

A post command is used as an intermediate object created by a call to the message bus' post method. It encapsulates the functionality provided by the message bus that created the command. Subclasses may extend this interface and add functionality, e.g. different dispatch schemes.

Method Detail

now

void now()

Execute the message publication immediately. This call blocks until every matching message handler has been invoked.

asynchronously

MessagePublication asynchronously()

Execute the message publication asynchronously. The behaviour of this method depends on the configured queuing strategy: If an unbound queuing strategy is used the call returns immediately. If a bounded queue is used the call might block until the message can be placed in the queue.

Returns:

A message publication that can be used to access information about the state of

asynchronously

MessagePublication asynchronously(long timeout,
                                TimeUnit unit)

Execute the message publication asynchronously. The behaviour of this method depends on the configured queuing strategy: If an unbound queuing strategy is used the call returns immediately. If a bounded queue is used the call will block until the message can be placed in the queue or the timeout r

Returns:

A message publication that wraps up the publication request
