Type Parameters:

All Implemented Interfaces:

Poller<S>

public class DirectPoller<S>
extends Object
implements Poller<S>

A Poller that uses the callers thread to poll for a result as soon as it is asked for. This is often appropriate if you expect a result relatively quickly, or if there is only one such result expected (otherwise it is more efficient to use a background thread to do the polling).
