Interface HttpAsyncRequestProducer

All Known Subinterfaces:

HttpAsyncRequestExecutionHandler<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface HttpAsyncRequestProducer
extends Closeable

HttpAsyncRequestProducer is a callback interface whose methods get invoked to generate an HTTP request message and to stream message content to a non-blocking HTTP connection.

Repeatable request producers capable of generating the same request message more than once can be reset to their initial state by calling the resetRequest() method, at which point request producers are expected to release currently allocated resources that are no longer needed or re-acquire resources needed to repeat the process.

Since:

4.2

Method Summary

void	failed(Exception ex) Invoked to signal that the response processing terminated abnormally.
HttpRequest	generateRequest() Invoked to generate a HTTP request message head.
HttpHost	getTarget() Invoked to obtain the request target host.
boolean	isRepeatable() Determines whether or not this producer is capable of producing HTTP request messages more than once.
void	produceContent(ContentEncoder encoder, IOControl ioControl) Invoked to write out a chunk of content to the ContentEncoder.
void	requestCompleted(HttpContext context) Invoked to signal that the request has been fully written out.
void	resetRequest() Invoked to reset the producer to its initial state.

Method Detail

getTarget

HttpHost getTarget()

Invoked to obtain the request target host.

generateRequest

HttpRequest generateRequest()
                            throws IOException,
                                   HttpException

Invoked to generate a HTTP request message head. The message is expected to implement the HttpEntityEnclosingRequest interface if it is to enclose a content entity. The produceContent( ContentEncoder, IOControl) method will not be invoked if HttpEntityEnclosingRequest.getEntity() returns null.

Returns:

HTTP request message.

Throws:

HttpException - in case of HTTP protocol violation

IOException - in case of an I/O error

produceContent

void produceContent(ContentEncoder encoder,
                    IOControl ioControl)
                    throws IOException

Invoked to write out a chunk of content to the ContentEncoder. The IOControl interface can be used to suspend output event notifications if the producer is temporarily unable to produce more content.

When all content is finished, the producer MUST call ContentEncoder.complete(). Failure to do so may cause the entity to be incorrectly delimited.

Please note that the ContentEncoder object is not thread-safe and should only be used within the context of this method call. The IOControl object can be shared and used on other thread to resume output event notifications when more content is made available.

Parameters:

encoder - content encoder.

ioControl - I/O control of the underlying connection.

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error

requestCompleted

void requestCompleted(HttpContext context)

Invoked to signal that the request has been fully written out.

Parameters:

context - HTTP context

failed

void failed(Exception ex)

Invoked to signal that the response processing terminated abnormally.

Parameters:

ex - exception

isRepeatable

boolean isRepeatable()

Determines whether or not this producer is capable of producing HTTP request messages more than once.

resetRequest

void resetRequest()
                  throws IOException

Invoked to reset the producer to its initial state. Repeatable request producers are expected to release currently allocated resources that are no longer needed or re-acquire resources needed to repeat the process.

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error
