Interface HttpAsyncRequestProducer

  • All Superinterfaces:

    public interface HttpAsyncRequestProducer
    extends java.io.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.

      Modifier and Type Method Description

      Invoked to signal that the response processing terminated abnormally.
      org.apache.http.HttpRequest generateRequest()
      Invoked to generate a HTTP request message head.
      org.apache.http.HttpHost getTarget()
      Invoked to obtain the request target host.

      • getTarget

        org.apache.http.HttpHost getTarget()
        Invoked to obtain the request target host.
      • generateRequest

        org.apache.http.HttpRequest generateRequest()
                                             throws java.io.IOException,
                                                    org.apache.http.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:
        org.apache.http.HttpException - in case of HTTP protocol violation
        java.io.IOException - in case of an I/O error
      • produceContent

        void produceContent​(ContentEncoder encoder,
                            IOControl ioctrl)
                     throws java.io.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.
        ioctrl - I/O control of the underlying connection.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - in case of an I/O error
      • requestCompleted

        void requestCompleted​(org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context)
        Invoked to signal that the request has been fully written out.
        Parameters:
        context - HTTP context
      • failed

        void failed​(java.lang.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 java.io.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:
        java.io.IOException - in case of an I/O error
