[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (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 api Reporter: David Lloyd Fix For: 3.1.0.Beta1 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
