Constructor Detail

MethodResult

public MethodResult(DataValue output,
                    ErrorValue error)

Constructor. Creates an instance that is associated with DataValue return value or ErrorValue error result of a method invocation.

Exactly one of output and error must be null

Next handle is set to null

Parameters:

error - the error to associate with this result

output - the return value to associate with this result

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if output and error are both null, or are both not null

MethodResult

public MethodResult(DataValue output,
                    ErrorValue error,
                    Consumer<AsyncHandle<MethodResult>> next)

Constructor. Creates an instance that is associated with DataValue return value or ErrorValue error result of a method invocation.

Exactly one of output and error must be null

Next handle allows supplying an AsyncHandle responsible for handling the following MethodResult. Can be null

Parameters:

error - the error to associate with this result

output - the return value to associate with this result

next - the next handle consumer

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if output and error are both null, or are both not null

Method Detail

getOutput

public DataValue getOutput()

Returns the output of the method call.

Returns:

data value returned by the method invocation

getError

public ErrorValue getError()

Returns the error for this MethodResult.

Returns:

the error or null if there is none

getNext

public Consumer<AsyncHandle<MethodResult>> getNext()

Returns the handle to receive the next AsyncHandle or null.

If the recipient wishes to terminate the connection they ought to pass a null AsyncHandle to the publisher.

Returns:

handle to receive the next AsyncHandle

success

public boolean success()

Returns true if the invoked method completed successfully, i.e. it hasn't reported an error, but returned a result.

Returns:

true if the method completed successfully

setNext

public void setNext(Consumer<AsyncHandle<MethodResult>> next)

Sets the Consumer for the next frame of the result

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

newResult

public static MethodResult newResult(DataValue output)

Static factory method for creating MethodResult instance for normal return value (as opposed to error)

Parameters:

output - the method return value for created result

Returns:

new MethodResult instance

See Also:

MethodResult(DataValue, ErrorValue)

newErrorResult

public static MethodResult newErrorResult(ErrorValue error)

Static factory method for creating MethodResult instance for error reported by method invocation

Parameters:

error - the error reported by method

Returns:

new MethodResult instance
