Class AsyncExecutionInterceptor

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.aop.interceptor.AsyncExecutionAspectSupport

org.springframework.aop.interceptor.AsyncExecutionInterceptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Advice, Interceptor, MethodInterceptor, Aware, BeanFactoryAware, Ordered

Direct Known Subclasses:

AnnotationAsyncExecutionInterceptor

public class AsyncExecutionInterceptor
extends AsyncExecutionAspectSupport
implements MethodInterceptor, Ordered

AOP Alliance MethodInterceptor that processes method invocations asynchronously, using a given AsyncTaskExecutor. Typically used with the Async annotation.

In terms of target method signatures, any parameter types are supported. However, the return type is constrained to either void or java.util.concurrent.Future. In the latter case, the Future handle returned from the proxy will be an actual asynchronous Future that can be used to track the result of the asynchronous method execution. However, since the target method needs to implement the same signature, it will have to return a temporary Future handle that just passes the return value through (like Spring's AsyncResult or EJB 3.1's javax.ejb.AsyncResult).

When the return type is java.util.concurrent.Future, any exception thrown during the execution can be accessed and managed by the caller. With void return type however, such exceptions cannot be transmitted back. In that case an AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler can be registered to process such exceptions.

As of Spring 3.1.2 the AnnotationAsyncExecutionInterceptor subclass is preferred for use due to its support for executor qualification in conjunction with Spring's @Async annotation.

Since:

3.0

Constructor Detail

AsyncExecutionInterceptor

public AsyncExecutionInterceptor(Executor defaultExecutor,
                                 AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler exceptionHandler)

Create a new AsyncExecutionInterceptor.

Parameters:

defaultExecutor - the Executor (typically a Spring AsyncTaskExecutor or ExecutorService) to delegate to

exceptionHandler - the AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler to use

AsyncExecutionInterceptor

public AsyncExecutionInterceptor(Executor defaultExecutor)

Create a new instance with a default AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler.

Method Detail

invoke

public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation)
              throws Throwable

Intercept the given method invocation, submit the actual calling of the method to the correct task executor and return immediately to the caller.

Specified by:

invoke in interface MethodInterceptor

Parameters:

invocation - the method to intercept and make asynchronous

Returns:

Future if the original method returns Future; null otherwise.

Throws:

Throwable

getExecutorQualifier

protected String getExecutorQualifier(Method method)

This implementation is a no-op for compatibility in Spring 3.1.2. Subclasses may override to provide support for extracting qualifier information, e.g. via an annotation on the given method.

Specified by:

getExecutorQualifier in class AsyncExecutionAspectSupport

Parameters:

method - the method to inspect for executor qualifier metadata

Returns:

always null

Since:

3.1.2

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Get the order value of this object.

Higher values are interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has the highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet load-on-startup values).

Same order values will result in arbitrary sort positions for the affected objects.

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value
