Class ConcurrencyThrottleSupport

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.util.ConcurrencyThrottleSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConcurrencyThrottleInterceptor

public abstract class ConcurrencyThrottleSupport
extends Object
implements Serializable

Support class for throttling concurrent access to a specific resource.

Designed for use as a base class, with the subclass invoking the beforeAccess() and afterAccess() methods at appropriate points of its workflow. Note that afterAccess should usually be called in a finally block!

The default concurrency limit of this support class is -1 ("unbounded concurrency"). Subclasses may override this default; check the javadoc of the concrete class that you're using.

Since:

1.2.5

ConcurrencyThrottleSupport

public ConcurrencyThrottleSupport()

Method Detail

setConcurrencyLimit

public void setConcurrencyLimit(int concurrencyLimit)

Set the maximum number of concurrent access attempts allowed. -1 indicates unbounded concurrency.

In principle, this limit can be changed at runtime, although it is generally designed as a config time setting.

NOTE: Do not switch between -1 and any concrete limit at runtime, as this will lead to inconsistent concurrency counts: A limit of -1 effectively turns off concurrency counting completely.

getConcurrencyLimit

public int getConcurrencyLimit()

Return the maximum number of concurrent access attempts allowed.

isThrottleActive

public boolean isThrottleActive()

Return whether this throttle is currently active.

Returns:

true if the concurrency limit for this instance is active

getConcurrencyLimit()

beforeAccess

protected void beforeAccess()

To be invoked before the main execution logic of concrete subclasses.

This implementation applies the concurrency throttle.

See Also:

afterAccess()

afterAccess

protected void afterAccess()

To be invoked after the main execution logic of concrete subclasses.
