Class TaskMaster

java.lang.Object

com.github.bordertech.taskmaster.TaskMaster

public final class TaskMaster
extends Object

TaskMaster helps projects run ASYNC tasks.

TaskMaster allows a Runnable task to be submitted for execution and returns a Future representing that task. The Future's get method will return the given result upon successful completion.

As Web applications require a Future implementation that can be serializable, the TaskMaster has a custom interface TaskFuture that implements both Future and Serializable. It does not make sense for a Future to be Serializable as it is running on a specific thread on a particular server. To allow a Web Application to keep a reference to the Future, the default implementation of TaskFuture (ie TaskFutureWrapper) wraps the future by putting the Future on a cache and holding onto the cache key that is serializable.
