Class RetryTemplate

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.retry.support.RetryTemplate

All Implemented Interfaces:

RetryOperations

public class RetryTemplate
extends Object
implements RetryOperations

Template class that simplifies the execution of operations with retry semantics.
Retryable operations are encapsulated in implementations of the RetryCallback interface and are executed using one of the supplied execute methods.
By default, an operation is retried if is throws any Exception or subclass of Exception. This behaviour can be changed by using the setRetryPolicy(RetryPolicy) method.
Also by default, each operation is retried for a maximum of three attempts with no back off in between. This behaviour can be configured using the setRetryPolicy(RetryPolicy) and setBackOffPolicy(BackOffPolicy) properties. The BackOffPolicy controls how long the pause is between each individual retry attempt.
This class is thread-safe and suitable for concurrent access when executing operations and when performing configuration changes. As such, it is possible to change the number of retries on the fly, as well as the BackOffPolicy used and no in progress retryable operations will be affected.

canRetry

protected boolean canRetry(RetryPolicy retryPolicy,
               RetryContext context)

Decide whether to proceed with the ongoing retry attempt. This method is called before the RetryCallback is executed, but after the backoff and open interceptors.

Parameters:

retryPolicy - the policy to apply

context - the current retry context

Returns:

true if we can continue with the attempt

close

protected void close(RetryPolicy retryPolicy,
         RetryContext context,
         RetryState state,
         boolean succeeded)

Clean up the cache if necessary and close the context provided (if the flag indicates that processing was successful).

Parameters:

context -

state -

succeeded -

registerThrowable

protected void registerThrowable(RetryPolicy retryPolicy,
                     RetryState state,
                     RetryContext context,
                     Throwable e)

Parameters:

retryPolicy -

state -

context -

e -

open

protected RetryContext open(RetryPolicy retryPolicy,
                RetryState state)

Delegate to the RetryPolicy having checked in the cache for an existing value if the state is not null.

Parameters:

retryPolicy - a RetryPolicy to delegate the context creation

Returns:

a retry context, either a new one or the one used last time the same state was encountered

handleRetryExhausted

protected <T> T handleRetryExhausted(RecoveryCallback<T> recoveryCallback,
                         RetryContext context,
                         RetryState state)
                          throws Throwable

Actions to take after final attempt has failed. If there is state clean up the cache. If there is a recovery callback, execute that and return its result. Otherwise throw an exception.

Parameters:

recoveryCallback - the callback for recovery (might be null)

context - the current retry context

Throws:

Exception - if the callback does, and if there is no callback and the state is null then the last exception from the context

ExhaustedRetryException - if the state is not null and there is no recovery callback

Throwable

rethrow

protected <E extends Throwable> void rethrow(RetryContext context,
                                 String message)
                throws E extends Throwable

Throws:

E extends Throwable

shouldRethrow

protected boolean shouldRethrow(RetryPolicy retryPolicy,
                    RetryContext context,
                    RetryState state)

Extension point for subclasses to decide on behaviour after catching an exception in a RetryCallback. Normal stateless behaviour is not to rethrow, and if there is state we rethrow.

Parameters:

retryPolicy -

context - the current context

Returns:

true if the state is not null but subclasses might choose otherwise
