Interface PushEventSource<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The payload type

All Known Subinterfaces:

SimplePushEventSource<T>

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@ConsumerType
 @FunctionalInterface
public interface PushEventSource<T>

An event source. An event source can open a channel between a source and a consumer. Once the channel is opened (even before it returns) the source can send events to the consumer. A source should stop sending and automatically close the channel when sending an event returns a negative value, see PushEventConsumer.ABORT. Values that are larger than 0 should be treated as a request to delay the next events with those number of milliseconds.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
AutoCloseable	open(PushEventConsumer<? super T> aec) Open the asynchronous channel between the source and the consumer.

Method Detail

open

AutoCloseable open(PushEventConsumer<? super T> aec)
            throws Exception

Open the asynchronous channel between the source and the consumer. The call returns an AutoCloseable. This can be closed, and should close the channel, including sending a Close event if the channel was not already closed. The returned object must be able to be closed multiple times without sending more than one Close events.

Parameters:

aec - the consumer (not null)

Returns:

a AutoCloseable that can be used to close the stream

Throws:

Exception
