[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBREM-1080) Add support for future tasks to RequestContext

Add support for future tasks to RequestContext ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBREM-1080 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1080 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: r3 core: api Reporter: David Lloyd Fix For: 3.1.0.Beta2 Right now, the RequestContext keeps track of tasks and threads being used to process a request. If all tasks complete and no reply is sent, it makes sure that the requesting party receives an exception indicating that a reply was never sent. However, if the request listener may wish interact with another framework which uses some asynchronous callback mechanism, from which a reply is to be sent. In this case, all tasks terminate but the reply might still be sent. To solve this problem, RequestContext needs a method which can wrap a Runnable (or similar) with some type of cancellable Runnable or task object, which can then be called by other frameworks as needed later on. The RequestContext wouldn't consider a request "dead" until all tasks completed and all such wrapped Runnables have also been completed or GC'd.
