Nested Class Summary

static interface

FutureFactory.FutureComponents A FutureComponents object wraps both side of a future object : the client side and the server side.

Method Summary

FutureFactory.FutureComponents

getFutureComponents(AsynchronousReference ar, MethodOp method, java.lang.Object[] args, ThreadOp caller, Callback callback) Returns the FutureComponents of the specified reflexive asynchronous method invocation.

Method Detail

getFutureComponents

public FutureFactory.FutureComponents getFutureComponents(AsynchronousReference ar,
                                                          MethodOp method,
                                                          java.lang.Object[] args,
                                                          ThreadOp caller,
                                                          Callback callback)

Returns the FutureComponents of the specified reflexive asynchronous method invocation.

Parameters:

method - the method which will be invoked asynchronously

args - the arguments of the specified method

caller - the thread which has requested the reflexive asynchronous method invocation

callback - the Callback to use when the asynchronous method invocation is terminated.

Returns:

a FutureComponents object representing both side of the future object
