You can use the ExecutionCallback
offered by Hazelcast to asynchronously be notified when the execution is done.
- To be notified when your task completes without an error, implement the
onResponse
method. - To be notified when your task completes with an error, implement the
onFailure
method.
Example Task to Callback
Let's use the Fibonacci series to explain this. The example code below is the calculation that will be executed. Note that it is Callable and Serializable.
public class Fibonacci<Long> implements Callable<Long>, Serializable {
int input = 0;
public Fibonacci() {
}
public Fibonacci( int input ) {
this.input = input;
}
public Long call() {
return calculate( input );
}
private long calculate( int n ) {
if (n <= 1) {
return n;
} else {
return calculate( n - 1 ) + calculate( n - 2 );
}
}
}
Example Method to Callback the Task
The example code below submits the Fibonacci calculation to ExecutionCallback
and prints the result asynchronously. ExecutionCallback
has the methods onResponse
and onFailure
. In this example code, onResponse
is called upon a valid response and prints the calculation result, whereas onFailure
is called upon a failure and prints the stacktrace.
import com.hazelcast.core.Hazelcast;
import com.hazelcast.core.ExecutionCallback;
import com.hazelcast.core.IExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Future;
HazelcastInstance hazelcastInstance = Hazelcast.newHazelcastInstance();
IExecutorService es = hazelcastInstance.getExecutorService();
Callable<Long> task = new Fibonacci( 10 );
es.submit(task, new ExecutionCallback<Long> () {
@Override
public void onResponse( Long response ) {
System.out.println( "Fibonacci calculation result = " + response );
}
@Override
public void onFailure( Throwable t ) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
};
