Class Emitter<PAYLOAD>

java.lang.Object
io.helidon.messaging.Emitter<PAYLOAD>
Type Parameters:
PAYLOAD - message payload type
All Implemented Interfaces:
Publisher<Message<PAYLOAD>>
public final class Emitter<PAYLOAD> extends Object implements Publisher<Message<PAYLOAD>>
Emitter is convenience publisher for one or multiple channels, publishing is as easy as calling send(Object) method. 

  Channel<String> simpleChannel = Channel.create();

  Emitter<String> emitter = Emitter.create(simpleChannel);

  Messaging messaging = Messaging.builder()
          .emitter(emitter)
          .listener(simpleChannel, System.out::println)
          .build();

  messaging.start();

  emitter.send(Message.of("Hello world!"));

  • Method Details

    • send

      public CompletionStage<Void> send(PAYLOAD msg)
      Send raw payload to downstream, wrapped to Message when demand is higher than 0. Publishes the given item to each current subscriber by asynchronously invoking its onNext method, blocking uninterruptibly while resources for any subscriber are unavailable.
      Parameters:
      msg - payload to be wrapped and sent(or buffered if there is no demand)
      Returns:
      callback being invoked when message is acked

    • send

      public int send(Message<PAYLOAD> msg)
      Send Message to downstream when demand is higher than 0. Publishes the given item to each current subscriber by asynchronously invoking its onNext method, blocking uninterruptibly while resources for any subscriber are unavailable.
      Parameters:
      msg - message wrapper with payload
      Returns:
      estimate of the maximum lag (number of items submitted but not yet consumed) among all current subscribers. This value is at least one (accounting for this submitted item) if there are any subscribers, else zero.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if emitter has been already completed
      NullPointerException - if message is null
      RejectedExecutionException - if thrown by Executor
