Clement Escoffier3e0db1e2009-01-15 15:35:17 +0000[diff] [blame]235<p>Notice that, this handler is an external handler. So, it uses the "org.apache.felix.ipojo.handler.temporal" namespace.<br>
236Once described, you can implement your component. The specified field
237will be mapped to the temporal dependency. As for regular field
238injection, aggregation, targeted service specification (i.e. interface)
239is discovered automatically. Filter, comparator and binding policy are
240also supported. However, the optional attribute is not supported. In
241fact, this attribute is meaningless in the case of a temporal
242dependency.<br>
243Using the field in your code will try to find a matching service
244provider. If a provider is available, the field receives the service
245object immediately. Else, the thread is stopped and waits for a
246provider. The default wait time is 3s (you can also specify this time).
247If no provider is available after this time, the thread throws a
248RuntimeException. If a provider becomes available during this time, the
249field receives immediately the value and the execution can continue.<br>

259<ul>
260 <li>Timeout: the maximum time waited in order to find a provider
261(default: 3s). For an infinite timeout, the timeout value is either
262"infinite" or "-1".</li>
263 <li>OnTimeout: specifies the action to do
264when the timeout occurs. Four actions are supported: null, nullable,
265empty-array, default-implementation. By default, no action is
266specified, and an exception occurs when the timeout is reached.</li>

Clement Escoffier3e0db1e2009-01-15 15:35:17 +0000[diff] [blame]273<p>When a timeout occurs, you can specify what the handler must do. By
274default, it throws a runtime exception. However, four others actions
275can be set in the 'onTimeout' attribute.</p>
276<ul>
277 <li>The null action (onTimeout="null") will return "null" instead of the service object.</li>
278 <li>The
279"nullable" action (onTimeout="nullable") will return a "Nullable"
280object instead of the service object. This object is a fake but can be
281used a regular service object. However, invoking actions on this object
282will do nothing. In the case of aggregate dependency, an array
283containing a "nullable" object is returned.</li>
Clement Escoffier580d1902009-07-21 12:06:46 +0000[diff] [blame]284 <li>The empty action
285is only supported for aggregate dependency (the field must be an
286array). In this case, an empty-array is returned. (In the 1.2.0
287version, the <tt>empty-array</tt> attribute became <tt>empty</tt>)</li>
Clement Escoffier3e0db1e2009-01-15 15:35:17 +0000[diff] [blame]288 <li>The
289default-implementation action is a little different. Instead of
290specifying the action, you need to specify the default-implementation
291(the qualified class name) that you want to use. For example
292onTimeout="o.a.f.i.MyDefaultLogServiceImpl". In this case, the handler
293will inject an instance of this object instead of a real service
294object. On aggregate dependency, an array with one
295default-implementation object is returned.</li>
