  • Method Details

    • constantFuture

      public static <T> Future<T> constantFuture(T value)
      Gets an implementation of Future that is immediately done and returns the specified constant value.

      This can be useful to return a simple constant immediately from the concurrent processing, perhaps as part of avoiding nulls. A constant future can also be useful in testing.

      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of the value used by this Future object
      Parameters:
      value - The constant value to return, may be null
      Returns:
      An instance of Future that will return the value, never null

    • createIfAbsent

      public static <K,V> V createIfAbsent(ConcurrentMap<K,V> map, K key, ConcurrentInitializer<V> init) throws ConcurrentException
      Checks if a concurrent map contains a key and creates a corresponding value if not. This method first checks the presence of the key in the given map. If it is already contained, its value is returned. Otherwise the get() method of the passed in ConcurrentInitializer is called. With the resulting object putIfAbsent(ConcurrentMap, Object, Object) is called. This handles the case that in the meantime another thread has added the key to the map. Both the map and the initializer can be null; in this case this method simply returns null.
      Type Parameters:
      K - The type of the keys of the map
      V - The type of the values of the map
      Parameters:
      map - The map to be modified
      key - The key of the value to be added
      init - The ConcurrentInitializer for creating the value
      Returns:
      The value stored in the map after this operation; this may or may not be the object created by the ConcurrentInitializer
      Throws:
      ConcurrentException - Thrown if the initializer throws an exception.

    • createIfAbsentUnchecked

      public static <K,V> V createIfAbsentUnchecked(ConcurrentMap<K,V> map, K key, ConcurrentInitializer<V> init)
      Checks if a concurrent map contains a key and creates a corresponding value if not, suppressing checked exceptions. This method calls createIfAbsent(). If a ConcurrentException is thrown, it is caught and re-thrown as a ConcurrentRuntimeException.
      Type Parameters:
      K - The type of the keys of the map
      V - The type of the values of the map
      Parameters:
      map - The map to be modified
      key - The key of the value to be added
      init - The ConcurrentInitializer for creating the value
      Returns:
      The value stored in the map after this operation; this may or may not be the object created by the ConcurrentInitializer
      Throws:
      ConcurrentRuntimeException - Thrown if the initializer throws an exception.

    • extractCause

      public static ConcurrentException extractCause(ExecutionException ex)
      Inspects the cause of the specified ExecutionException and creates a ConcurrentException with the checked cause if necessary. This method performs the following checks on the cause of the passed in exception:
      • If the passed in exception is null or the cause is null, this method returns null.
      • If the cause is a runtime exception, it is directly thrown.
      • If the cause is an error, it is directly thrown, too.
      • In any other case the cause is a checked exception. The method then creates a ConcurrentException, initializes it with the cause, and returns it.
      Parameters:
      ex - The exception to be processed
      Returns:
      A ConcurrentException with the checked cause

    • extractCauseUnchecked

      public static ConcurrentRuntimeException extractCauseUnchecked(ExecutionException ex)
      Inspects the cause of the specified ExecutionException and creates a ConcurrentRuntimeException with the checked cause if necessary. This method works exactly like extractCause(ExecutionException). The only difference is that the cause of the specified ExecutionException is extracted as a runtime exception. This is an alternative for client code that does not want to deal with checked exceptions.
      Parameters:
      ex - The exception to be processed
      Returns:
      A ConcurrentRuntimeException with the checked cause

    • handleCause

      public static void handleCause(ExecutionException ex) throws ConcurrentException
      Handles the specified ExecutionException. This method calls extractCause(ExecutionException) for obtaining the cause of the exception - which might already cause an unchecked exception or an error being thrown. If the cause is a checked exception however, it is wrapped in a ConcurrentException, which is thrown. If the passed in exception is null or has no cause, the method simply returns without throwing an exception.
      Parameters:
      ex - The exception to be handled
      Throws:
      ConcurrentException - Thrown if the cause of the ExecutionException is a checked exception.

    • handleCauseUnchecked

      public static void handleCauseUnchecked(ExecutionException ex)
      Handles the specified ExecutionException and transforms it into a runtime exception. This method works exactly like handleCause(ExecutionException), but instead of a ConcurrentException it throws a ConcurrentRuntimeException. This is an alternative for client code that does not want to deal with checked exceptions.
      Parameters:
      ex - The exception to be handled
      Throws:
      ConcurrentRuntimeException - Thrown if the cause of the ExecutionException is a checked exception; this exception is then wrapped in the thrown runtime exception.

    • initialize

      public static <T> T initialize(ConcurrentInitializer<T> initializer) throws ConcurrentException
      Invokes the specified ConcurrentInitializer and returns the object produced by the initializer. This method just invokes the get() method of the given ConcurrentInitializer. It is null-safe: if the argument is null, result is also null.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of the object produced by the initializer
      Parameters:
      initializer - The ConcurrentInitializer to be invoked
      Returns:
      The object managed by the ConcurrentInitializer
      Throws:
      ConcurrentException - Thrown if the ConcurrentInitializer throws an exception.

    • initializeUnchecked

      public static <T> T initializeUnchecked(ConcurrentInitializer<T> initializer)
      Invokes the specified ConcurrentInitializer and transforms occurring exceptions to runtime exceptions. This method works like initialize(ConcurrentInitializer), but if the ConcurrentInitializer throws a ConcurrentException, it is caught, and the cause is wrapped in a ConcurrentRuntimeException. So client code does not have to deal with checked exceptions.
      Type Parameters:
      T - The type of the object produced by the initializer
      Parameters:
      initializer - The ConcurrentInitializer to be invoked
      Returns:
      The object managed by the ConcurrentInitializer
      Throws:
      ConcurrentRuntimeException - Thrown if the initializer throws an exception.

    • putIfAbsent

      public static <K,V> V putIfAbsent(ConcurrentMap<K,V> map, K key, V value)
      Puts a value in the specified ConcurrentMap if the key is not yet present. This method works similar to the putIfAbsent() method of the ConcurrentMap interface, but the value returned is different. Basically, this method is equivalent to the following code fragment: 
      if (!map.containsKey(key)) {
    map.put(key, value);
    return value;
} else {
    return map.get(key);
}

      except that the action is performed atomically. So this method always returns the value which is stored in the map.

      This method is null-safe: It accepts a null map as input without throwing an exception. In this case the return value is null, too.

      Type Parameters:
      K - The type of the keys of the map
      V - The type of the values of the map
      Parameters:
      map - The map to be modified
      key - The key of the value to be added
      value - The value to be added
      Returns:
      The value stored in the map after this operation
