Class WorkManagerTaskExecutor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.jndi.JndiAccessor
      org.springframework.jndi.JndiLocatorSupport
          org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManagerTaskExecutor

All Implemented Interfaces:

commonj.work.WorkManager, InitializingBean, TaskExecutor, SchedulingTaskExecutor

public class WorkManagerTaskExecutor
extends JndiLocatorSupport
implements SchedulingTaskExecutor, commonj.work.WorkManager, InitializingBean

TaskExecutor implementation that delegates to a CommonJ WorkManager, implementing the WorkManager interface, which either needs to be specified as reference or through the JNDI name.

This is the central convenience class for setting up a CommonJ WorkManager in a Spring context.

Also implements the CommonJ WorkManager interface itself, delegating all calls to the target WorkManager. Hence, a caller can choose whether it wants to talk to this executor through the Spring TaskExecutor interface or the CommonJ WorkManager interface.

The CommonJ WorkManager will usually be retrieved from the application server's JNDI environment, as defined in the server's management console.

Note: At the time of this writing, the CommonJ WorkManager facility is only supported on IBM WebSphere 6.0+ and BEA WebLogic 9.0+, despite being such a crucial API for an application server. (There is a similar facility available on WebSphere 5.1 Enterprise, though, which we will discuss below.)

On JBoss and GlassFish, a similar facility is available through the JCA WorkManager. See the JBossWorkManagerTaskExecutor GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor classes which are the direct equivalent of this CommonJ adapter class.

A similar facility is available on WebSphere 5.1, under the name "Asynch Beans". Its central interface is called WorkManager too and is also obtained from JNDI, just like a standard CommonJ WorkManager. However, this WorkManager variant is notably different: The central execution method is called "startWork" instead of "schedule", and takes a slightly different Work interface as parameter.

Support for this WebSphere 5.1 variant can be built with this class and its helper DelegatingWork as template: Call the WorkManager's startWork(Work) instead of schedule(Work) in the execute(Runnable) implementation. Furthermore, for simplicity's sake, drop the entire "Implementation of the CommonJ WorkManager interface" section (and the corresponding implements WorkManager clause at the class level). Of course, you also need to change all commonj.work imports in your WorkManagerTaskExecutor and DelegatingWork variants to the corresponding WebSphere API imports (com.ibm.websphere.asynchbeans.WorkManager and com.ibm.websphere.asynchbeans.Work, respectively). This should be sufficient to get a TaskExecutor adapter for WebSphere 5.

Method Detail

setWorkManager

public void setWorkManager(commonj.work.WorkManager workManager)

Specify the CommonJ WorkManager to delegate to.

Alternatively, you can also specify the JNDI name of the target WorkManager.

See Also:

setWorkManagerName(java.lang.String)

setWorkManagerName

public void setWorkManagerName(String workManagerName)

Set the JNDI name of the CommonJ WorkManager.

This can either be a fully qualified JNDI name, or the JNDI name relative to the current environment naming context if "resourceRef" is set to "true".

See Also:

setWorkManager(commonj.work.WorkManager), JndiLocatorSupport.setResourceRef(boolean)

setWorkListener

public void setWorkListener(commonj.work.WorkListener workListener)

Specify a CommonJ WorkListener to apply, if any.

This shared WorkListener instance will be passed on to the WorkManager by all execute(java.lang.Runnable) calls on this TaskExecutor.

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws NamingException

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

NamingException

execute

public void execute(Runnable task)

Description copied from interface: TaskExecutor

Execute the given task.

The call might return immediately if the implementation uses an asynchronous execution strategy, or might block in the case of synchronous execution.

Specified by:

execute in interface TaskExecutor

Parameters:

task - the Runnable to execute (never null)

prefersShortLivedTasks

public boolean prefersShortLivedTasks()

This task executor prefers short-lived work units.

Specified by:

prefersShortLivedTasks in interface SchedulingTaskExecutor

Returns:

true if this TaskExecutor prefers short-lived tasks

schedule

public commonj.work.WorkItem schedule(commonj.work.Work work)
                               throws commonj.work.WorkException,
                                      IllegalArgumentException

Specified by:

schedule in interface commonj.work.WorkManager

Throws:
