All Implemented Interfaces:

public class AsyncAnnotationBeanPostProcessor
extends AbstractAdvisingBeanPostProcessor
implements BeanFactoryAware

Bean post-processor that automatically applies asynchronous invocation behavior to any bean that carries the Async annotation at class or method-level by adding a corresponding AsyncAnnotationAdvisor to the exposed proxy (either an existing AOP proxy or a newly generated proxy that implements all of the target's interfaces).

The TaskExecutor responsible for the asynchronous execution may be provided as well as the annotation type that indicates a method should be invoked asynchronously. If no annotation type is specified, this post- processor will detect both Spring's @Async annotation as well as the EJB 3.1 javax.ejb.Asynchronous annotation.

For methods having a void return type, any exception thrown during the asynchronous method invocation cannot be accessed by the caller. An AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler can be specified to handle these cases.

Note: The underlying async advisor applies before existing advisors by default, in order to switch to async execution as early as possible in the invocation chain.

Since:

3.0

Field Detail

DEFAULT_TASK_EXECUTOR_BEAN_NAME

public static final String DEFAULT_TASK_EXECUTOR_BEAN_NAME

The default name of the TaskExecutor bean to pick up: "taskExecutor".

Note that the initial lookup happens by type; this is just the fallback in case of multiple executor beans found in the context.

Method Detail

setAsyncAnnotationType

public void setAsyncAnnotationType(Class<? extends Annotation> asyncAnnotationType)

Set the 'async' annotation type to be detected at either class or method level. By default, both the Async annotation and the EJB 3.1 javax.ejb.Asynchronous annotation will be detected.

This setter property exists so that developers can provide their own (non-Spring-specific) annotation type to indicate that a method (or all methods of a given class) should be invoked asynchronously.

Parameters:

asyncAnnotationType - the desired annotation type

setExecutor

public void setExecutor(Executor executor)

Set the Executor to use when invoking methods asynchronously.

setExceptionHandler

public void setExceptionHandler(AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler exceptionHandler)

Set the AsyncUncaughtExceptionHandler to use to handle uncaught exceptions thrown by asynchronous method executions.

Since:

4.1

setBeanFactory

public void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)

Description copied from interface: BeanFactoryAware

Callback that supplies the owning factory to a bean instance.

Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Specified by:

setBeanFactory in interface BeanFactoryAware

Parameters:

beanFactory - owning BeanFactory (never null). The bean can immediately call methods on the factory.
