public interface CancelState
Tracks the cancellation state of a cancelable operation.

Once an operation has been canceled, it cannot be "un-canceled". Where multiple observers have the option to cancel an operation, cancellation by any observer should be considered as final and binding; implementations should not require consensus among all observers.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    void
    Cancels the operation, providing a message explaining why.
    boolean
    Retrieves a flag indicating whether the operation has been canceled.
  • Method Details

    • cancel

      void cancel(@Nonnull KeyedMessage message)
      Cancels the operation, providing a message explaining why.

      The cancellation message is required, and should be as descriptive and clear as possible to allow end users to correct, if possible, the issue that triggered cancellation.

      Parameters:
      message - a descriptive message explaining why the operation has been canceled
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the provided message is null
    • isCanceled

      boolean isCanceled()
      Retrieves a flag indicating whether the operation has been canceled.

      In situations where multiple observers have the option to cancel an operation, for example when multiple listeners receive the same CancelableEvent, this flag can be useful for determining that another observer has already canceled the operation.

      Returns:
      true if the operation has been canceled; otherwise, false
