public interface WorkManager
WorkManager
which provides a facility
to submit Work
instances for execution. This frees the user
from having to create Java threads directly to do work. Further, this
allows efficient pooling of thread resources and more control over thread
usage.
The various stages in Work
processing are:
Work
instance is being submitted for
execution. The Work
instance could either be accepted or
rejected with a WorkRejectedException
set to an appropriate
error code. Work
instance has been
accepted. The accepted Work
instance could either start
execution or could be rejected again with a
WorkRejectedException
set to an appropriate error code.
There is no guarantee on when the execution would start unless a start
timeout duration is specified. When a start timeout is specified, the
Work
execution must be started within the specified
duration (not a real-time guarantee), failing which a
WorkRejectedException
set to an error code
(WorkRejected.TIMED_OUT
) is thrown. Work
instance has been rejected.
The Work
instance could be rejected during Work
submittal or after the Work
instance has been accepted
(but before Work instance starts execution). The rejection could be due
to internal factors or start timeout expiration. A
WorkRejectedException
with an appropriate error code
(indicates the reason) is thrown in both cases. Work
instance has started. This means that a thread
has been allocated for its execution. But this
does not guarantee that the allocated thread has been scheduled to run
on a CPU resource. Once execution is started, the allocated thread
sets up an appropriate execution context (transaction , security, etc)
and calls Work.run(). Note, any exception thrown during execution context
setup or Work.run() leads to completion of processing. Work
has been
completed. The execution could complete with or without an exception.
The WorkManager
catches any exception thrown during
Work
processing (which includes execution context setup),
and wraps it with a WorkCompletedException
