    • Method Detail

      • newPromise

        public static <V,​E extends ExceptionPromise<V,​E> newPromise​(Supplier<V,​E> supplier)
        Execute a task and return the result as a Promise.

        If the task executed successfully, then the Promise is completed with the returned result of the task's execution.

        If the task failed during its execution then the Promise is completed with the caught Exception (or RuntimeException).

        Type Parameters:
        V - The type of the task's result, or Void if the task does not return anything (i.e. it only has side-effects).
        E - The type of the exception thrown by the task if it fails, or NeverThrowsException if the task cannot fail.
        Parameters:
        supplier - The supplier that computes the result or throw an exception in case of failure.
        Returns:
        A Promise representing a completed asynchronous task.
      • executeAsync

        public static <T,​E extends ExceptionPromise<T,​E> executeAsync​(Executor executor,
                                                                                    Supplier<T,​E> supplier)
        Execute the provided supplier through the executor and returns immediately a Promise that will be completed once the supplier has been executed.
        Type Parameters:
        T - The value type
        E - The exception type
        Parameters:
        executor - The executor to use to execute the supplier
        supplier - The block to execute asynchronously through the executor
        Returns:
        A Promise that will be completed once the supplier has been executed.
      • newRuntimeExceptionPromise

        public static <V,​E extends ExceptionPromise<V,​E> newRuntimeExceptionPromise​(RuntimeException exception)
        Returns a Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already failed with the provided runtime exception. Attempts to get the result will immediately fail, and any listeners registered against the returned promise will be immediately invoked in the same thread as the caller.
        Type Parameters:
        V - The type of the task's result, or Void if the task does not return anything (i.e. it only has side-effects).
        E - The type of the exception thrown by the task if it fails, or NeverThrowsException if the task cannot fail.
        Parameters:
        exception - The exception indicating why the asynchronous task has failed.
        Returns:
        A Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already failed with the provided exception.
      • newExceptionPromise

        public static <V,​E extends ExceptionPromise<V,​E> newExceptionPromise​(E exception)
        Returns a Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already failed with the provided exception. Attempts to get the result will immediately fail, and any listeners registered against the returned promise will be immediately invoked in the same thread as the caller.
        Type Parameters:
        V - The type of the task's result, or Void if the task does not return anything (i.e. it only has side-effects).
        E - The type of the exception thrown by the task if it fails, or NeverThrowsException if the task cannot fail.
        Parameters:
        exception - The exception indicating why the asynchronous task has failed.
        Returns:
        A Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already failed with the provided exception.
      • newResultPromise

        public static <V,​E extends ExceptionPromise<V,​E> newResultPromise​(V result)
        Returns a Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already succeeded with the provided result. Attempts to get the result will immediately return the result, and any listeners registered against the returned promise will be immediately invoked in the same thread as the caller.
        Type Parameters:
        V - The type of the task's result, or Void if the task does not return anything (i.e. it only has side-effects).
        E - The type of the exception thrown by the task if it fails, or NeverThrowsException if the task cannot fail.
        Parameters:
        result - The result of the asynchronous task.
        Returns:
        A Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already succeeded with the provided result.
      • newVoidResultPromise

        public static <E extends ExceptionPromise<Void,​E> newVoidResultPromise()
        Returns a Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already succeeded without result. Any listeners registered against the returned promise will be immediately invoked in the same thread as the caller.
        Type Parameters:
        E - The type of the exception thrown by the task if it fails, or NeverThrowsException if the task cannot fail.
        Returns:
        A Promise representing an asynchronous task which has already succeeded with the provided result.
