Class Retry

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.aether.named.support.Retry

public final class Retry extends Object
Retry helper: retries given Callable as long as it returns null (interpreted as "no answer yet") or given time passes. This helper implements similar semantics regarding caller threads as Lock.tryLock(long, TimeUnit) method does: blocks the caller thread until operation return non-null value within the given waiting time and the current thread has not been interrupted.

    • retry

      public static <R> R retry(long time, TimeUnit unit, long sleepMillis, Callable<R> operation, Predicate<Exception> retryPredicate, R defaultResult) throws InterruptedException
      Retries for given amount of time (time, unit) the passed in operation, sleeping given sleepMills between retries. In case operation returns null, it is assumed "is not done yet" state, so retry will happen (if time barrier allows). If time barrier passes, and still null ("is not done yet") is returned from operation, the defaultResult is returned.
      Throws:
      InterruptedException
    • retry

      public static <R> R retry(int attempts, long sleepMillis, Callable<R> operation, Predicate<Exception> retryPredicate, R defaultResult) throws InterruptedException
      Retries attempting max given times the passed in operation, sleeping given sleepMills between retries. In case operation returns null, it is assumed "is not done yet" state, so retry will happen (if attempt count allows). If all attempts used, and still null ("is not done yet") is returned from operation, the defaultResult is returned.

      Just to clear things up: 5 attempts is really 4 retries (once do it and retry 4 times). 0 attempts means "do not even try it", and this method returns without doing anything.

      Throws:
      InterruptedException
