Hi Marcus
I am using javaflow. What I want to do is the following: Call Continuation.suspend() from within a thread. Transfer the Continuation object over the network call Continuation.continueWith(..)
Cool
_but_: in order to let the thread work properly at another place within the network, I want to update a few references within the thread and to the thread (for the thread communication).
Well, I think I know what you are after. We had the same problem over in cocoon land where we have a container and components that a continuation might use. Here are a few rules: o If you use a component manager: always release components before you suspend a continuation. Containers cannot really cope with kind of resource hoggin. o If you have references the best way to pass them in is to use custom context object that you pass into the continuation. This context has to provide the references for the given environment it is supposed to run in.
Is it possible to get access to the 'runnable object' within the continuation object? I am searching for something like: Continuation.getRunnable();Runnable which is null if there is nothing assigned. Is something like this possible? If not, will it be implemented? I don't know if it is possible, to alter the continuation object, _before_ it has been continued with Continuation.continueWith( ..), but I think it should be possible to alter it after it has been continued. I think, the method could return null or throw an exception if it is called without a running thread.
Maybe have a look at the context first cheers -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
