Interface AsyncCallback<T>
-
- Type Parameters:
T- The type of the return value that was declared in the synchronous version of the method. If the return type is a primitive, use the boxed version of that primitive (for example, anintreturn type becomes anIntegertype argument, and avoidreturn type becomes aVoidtype argument, which is alwaysnull).
- All Known Implementing Classes:
SimpleRemoteLogHandler.DefaultCallback
public interface AsyncCallback<T>The primary interface a caller must implement to receive a response from a remote procedure call.If an RPC is successful, then
onSuccess(Object)is called, otherwiseonFailure(Throwable)is called.Each callable asynchronous method corresponds to a method in the correlated service interface. The asynchronous method always takes an
AsyncCallback<T>as its last parameter, whereTis the return type of the correlated synchronous method.As an example, suppose the service interface defines a method called
getShapesas follows:Shape[] getShapes(String databaseName) throws ShapeException, DbException;
Its asynchronous counterpart method be declared as:void getShapes(String databaseName, AsyncCallback<Shape[]> callback);
Note thatthrowsdeclaration is not repeated in the async version.A call with a typical use of
AsyncCallbackmight look like this:service.getShapes(dbName, new AsyncCallback
() { public void onSuccess(Shape[] result) { // It's always safe to downcast to the known return type. controller.processShapes(result); } public void onFailure(Throwable caught) { // Convenient way to find out which exception was thrown. try { throw caught; } catch (IncompatibleRemoteServiceException e) { // this client is not compatible with the server; cleanup and refresh the // browser } catch (InvocationException e) { // the call didn't complete cleanly } catch (ShapeException e) { // one of the 'throws' from the original method } catch (DbException e) { // one of the 'throws' from the original method } catch (Throwable e) { // last resort -- a very unexpected exception } } });

Method Detail
-
onFailure
void onFailure(java.lang.Throwable caught)
Called when an asynchronous call fails to complete normally.IncompatibleRemoteServiceExceptions,InvocationExceptions, or checked exceptions thrown by the service method are examples of the type of failures that can be passed to this method.If
caughtis an instance of anIncompatibleRemoteServiceExceptionthe application should try to get into a state where a browser refresh can be safely done.- Parameters:
caught- failure encountered while executing a remote procedure call
-
onSuccess
void onSuccess(T result)
Called when an asynchronous call completes successfully.- Parameters:
result- the return value of the remote produced call
