Class RequestProcessor

  org.openide.util.RequestProcessor

public final class RequestProcessor

extends Object

Request processor that is capable to execute requests in dedicated threads. You can create your own instance or use the shared one.

There are several use cases for RequestProcessor:

• Having something done asynchronously in some other thread, not insisting on any kind of serialization of the requests: Use RequestProcessor.getDefault().post(runnable) for this purpose.
• Having something done later in some other thread: Use RequestProcessor.getDefault().post(runnable, delay)
• Having something done periodically in any thread: Use the RequestProcessor.Task's ability to schedule(), like

        static RequestProcessor.Task CLEANER = RequestProcessor.getDefault().post(runnable,DELAY);
        public void run() {
            doTheWork();
            CLEANER.schedule(DELAY);
        }
    

  Note: Please think twice before implementing some periodic background activity. It is generally considered evil if it will run regardless of user actions and the IDE state, even while the application is minimized / not currently used.
• Having something done in some other thread but properly ordered: Create a private instance of the RequestProcessor(name) and use it from all places you'd like to have serialized. It works like a simple Mutex.
• Having some entity that will do processing in a limited number of threads paralelly: Create a private instance of the RequestProcessor(name,throughput) set proper throughput and use it to schedule the work. It works like a queue of requests passing through a semafore with predefined number of DOWN()s.

Note: If you don't need to serialize your requests but you're generating them in bursts, you should use your private RequestProcessor instance with limited throughput (probably set to 1), the IDE would try to run all your requests in parallel otherwise.

Nested Class Summary
class	RequestProcessor.Task           The task describing the request sent to the processor.

 

Constructor Summary

RequestProcessor()           Creates new RequestProcessor with automatically assigned unique name.

RequestProcessor(String name)           Creates a new named RequestProcessor with throughput 1.

RequestProcessor(String name, int throughput)           Creates a new named RequestProcessor with defined throughput.

 

Method Summary
RequestProcessor.Task	create(Runnable run)           Creates request that can be later started by setting its delay.
static RequestProcessor.Task	createRequest(Runnable run)           Deprecated. Sharing of one singlethreaded RequestProcessor among different users and posting even blocking requests is inherently deadlock-prone. See use cases.
static RequestProcessor	getDefault()           The getter for the shared instance of the RequestProcessor.
boolean	isRequestProcessorThread()           Tests if the current thread is request processor thread.
RequestProcessor.Task	post(Runnable run)           This methods asks the request processor to start given runnable immediately.

Constructor Detail

RequestProcessor

public RequestProcessor()

Creates new RequestProcessor with automatically assigned unique name.

---

RequestProcessor

public RequestProcessor(String name)

Creates a new named RequestProcessor with throughput 1.

Parameters:

name - the name to use for the request processor thread

---

RequestProcessor

public RequestProcessor(String name,
                        int throughput)

Creates a new named RequestProcessor with defined throughput.

Parameters:

name - the name to use for the request processor thread

throughput - the maximal count of requests allowed to run in parallel

Since:

OpenAPI version 2.12

Method Detail

getDefault

public static RequestProcessor getDefault()

The getter for the shared instance of the RequestProcessor.

Returns:

an instance of RequestProcessor that is capable of performing "unlimited" (currently limited to 50, just for case of misuse) number of requests in parallel. This instance is shared by anybody who needs a way of performing sporadic or repeated asynchronous work.

Since:

OpenAPI version 2.12

---

post

public RequestProcessor.Task post(Runnable run)

This methods asks the request processor to start given runnable immediately. The default priority is Thread.MIN_PRIORITY.

Parameters:

run - class to run

Returns:

the task to control the request

---

post

public RequestProcessor.Task post(Runnable run,
                                  int timeToWait)

This methods asks the request processor to start given runnable after timeToWait milliseconds. The default priority is Thread.MIN_PRIORITY.

Parameters:

run - class to run

timeToWait - to wait before execution

Returns:

the task to control the request

---

post

public RequestProcessor.Task post(Runnable run,
                                  int timeToWait,
                                  int priority)

This methods asks the request processor to start given runnable after timeToWait milliseconds. Given priority is assigned to the request.

For request relaying please consider:

    post(run, timeToWait, Thread.currentThread().getPriority());
 

Parameters:

run - class to run

timeToWait - to wait before execution

priority - the priority from Thread.MIN_PRIORITY to Thread.MAX_PRIORITY

Returns:

the task to control the request

---

create

public RequestProcessor.Task create(Runnable run)

Creates request that can be later started by setting its delay. The request is not immediatelly put into the queue. It is planned after setting its delay by schedule method.

Parameters:

run - action to run in the process

Returns:

the task to control execution of given action

---

isRequestProcessorThread

public boolean isRequestProcessorThread()

Tests if the current thread is request processor thread. This method could be used to prevent the deadlocks using waitFinished method. Any two tasks created by request processor must not wait for themself.

Returns:

true if the current thread is request processor thread, otherwise false

---

stop

public void stop()

Stops processing of runnables processor. The currently running runnable is finished and no new is started.

---

postRequest

public static RequestProcessor.Task postRequest(Runnable run)

Deprecated. Sharing of one singlethreaded RequestProcessor among different users and posting even blocking requests is inherently deadlock-prone. See use cases.

This methods asks the request processor to start given runnable after timeToWait milliseconds. The default priority is Thread.MIN_PRIORITY.

Parameters:

run - class to run

Returns:

the task to control the request

---

postRequest

the task to control the request

---

postRequest
