AsyncHelper-4.0.0

What's New

• Async-Helper is an OSGi bundle now :), to use it directly in OSGi applications.

• Renamed Async helper class to AsyncContext so that there is option to limit the context of Asynchronous operations. The global context can be obtained using AscynContext.getDefault().

• All the existing helper classes and their methods are now converted from static to instances, so that,

  Either their default instances can be obtained using their getDefault() methods,

  AsyncContext ==> AsyncContext.getDefault()
  AsyncTask ==> AsyncTask.getDefault()
  AsyncSupplier ==> AsyncSupplier.getDefault()
  SchedulingTask ==> SchedulingTask.getDefault()
  SchedulingSupplier ==> SchedulingSupplier.getDefault()

  Or they can be instantiated with a specific arguments.

  AsyncContext ==> AsyncContext.newInstance()
  AsyncTask ==> AsyncTask.of(ExecutorService) or AsyncTask.of(ExecutorService, AsyncContext)
  AsyncSupplier ==> AsyncSupplier.of(ExecutorService) or AsyncSupplier.of(ExecutorService, AsyncContext)
  SchedulingTask ==> SchedulingTask.of(ScheduledExecutorService) or SchedulingTask.of(ScheduledExecutorService, AsyncContext)
  SchedulingSupplier ==> SchedulingSupplier.of(ScheduledExecutorService) or SchedulingSupplier.of(ScheduledExecutorService, AsyncContext)

• The default instances of AsyncTask and AsyncSupplier use a common ForkJoinPool. But it is possible to get customized instances of these can be obtained by passing a new ExecutorService instance.

• The default instances of SchedulingTask and SchedulingSupplier use a common ScheduledExecutorService. But it is possible to get customized instances of these can be obtained by passing a new ScheduledExecutorService instance.

• AsyncTask includes a new static helper method AsyncTask.submitTaskInNewThread(Runnable) to submit a task by spawning a new thread.
