org.springframework.batch.integration.async
Class AsyncItemProcessor<I,O>

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.batch.integration.async.AsyncItemProcessor<I,O>

Type Parameters:

I - the input object type

O - the output object type (will be wrapped in a Future)

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.batch.item.ItemProcessor<I,java.util.concurrent.Future<O>>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

public class AsyncItemProcessor<I,O>
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.springframework.batch.item.ItemProcessor<I,java.util.concurrent.Future<O>>, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

An ItemProcessor that delegates to a nested processor and in the background. To allow for background processing the return value from the processor is a Future which needs to be unpacked before the item can be used by a client.

Method Detail

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Check mandatory properties (the setDelegate(ItemProcessor)).

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

See Also:

InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()

setDelegate

public void setDelegate(org.springframework.batch.item.ItemProcessor<I,O> delegate)

The ItemProcessor to use to delegate processing to in a background thread.

Parameters:

delegate - the ItemProcessor to use as a delegate

setTaskExecutor

public void setTaskExecutor(org.springframework.core.task.TaskExecutor taskExecutor)

The TaskExecutor to use to allow the item processing to proceed in the background. Defaults to a SyncTaskExecutor so no threads are created unless this is overridden.

Parameters:

taskExecutor - a TaskExecutor

process

public java.util.concurrent.Future<O> process(I item)
                                       throws java.lang.Exception

Transform the input by delegating to the provided item processor. The return value is wrapped in a Future so that clients can unpack it later.

Specified by:

process in interface org.springframework.batch.item.ItemProcessor<I,java.util.concurrent.Future<O>>

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
