MyFaces Users,
Please read OP (or my original email below), and then read this email, and
advise.
Romain,
Yes, I have a code snippet; please continue reading beyond/below first code
snippet.
Below is the code that is called by multiple beans as well as the bean
where this method is defined.
/*

@Asynchronous
public Future<Date> updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync(Date
tripDateToBePlacedInQueue) {
String log;
Date tripDate =
usersController.queueDateAndOrUpdateGoogleCalendar(tripDateToBePlacedInQueue);
if (tripDate == null) {
return new AsyncResult<>(tripDate);
}
performingGoogleCalendarMaintenace = true;
try {
if (usersController.googleCalendarHasEvents()) {
usersController.deleteEvents(tripDate, tripDate);
}
String tripDateFrom = displayUtil.getDateFromDateTime(tripDate,
false);
String tripDateTo = displayUtil.getDateFromDateTime(tripDate,
false);
List<Orders> list = getFacade().findAllConfirmed(tripDateFrom,
tripDateTo, true);
if (list != null) {
for (Orders o : list) {
usersController.addEventToCalendar(newGoogleCalendarEvent(o));
}
}
log = "pf_OrdersController.updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync():
" +
new DateTime(tripDate).toString("MM/dd/yyyy") +
" processed successfully";
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
messages.addFormErrorMsg("Error updating Google Calendar",
(e.getMessage() != null) ? e.getMessage() : "");
log = "pf_OrdersController.updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync():
" +
new DateTime(tripDate).toString("MM/dd/yyyy") +
" processing failed due to exception";
} finally {
performingGoogleCalendarMaintenace = false;
}
System.out.println(log);
// Return our result
return new AsyncResult<>(tripDate);
}
Below, is code where the @Asynchronous method is *called within the same
bean*, and is not the last piece of code in the calling method.
/*
* 1. if tripDate changed, then update Google Calendar for
original trip date
* 2. update Google Calendar for current trip date
*/
if (new
DateTime(current.getReportDateTime()).toString("MM/dd/yyyy").equals(
new DateTime(tripDateBeforeEdit).toString("MM/dd/yyyy"))
== false) {
updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync(tripDateBeforeEdit);
}
updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync(current.getReportDateTime());
}
if (invokePrepareEdit)
return prepareEdit();
else
return null;
Below, is code that is at the very end of a calling method and *called
within the same bean*, so there are no concerns here.
/*
* update Google Calendar for current trip date
*/
updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync(current.getReportDateTime());
return returnToBrowseOrView();
Below, is code that was *added to another bean*, that will call the
*@Asynchronous
method defined on the other bean* (ordersController).
public void updateGoogleCalendar() {
if (relatedEntityName.equals("orders")) {
Orders order = (Orders) relatedEntityObj;
ordersController.updateGoogleCalendarPostEditAsync(order.getTripDateTime());
}
}
The method above, updateGoogleCalendar(), is called by code similar to
below, which is not the last code executed in calling method.
if (relatedEntityName.equals("orders")) {
auditTrailDesc = "Updated ORDER: updated ORIGIN" +
(originTx != null && originTx.length() > 0
? "(" + originTx + ")" : "");
auditTrailController.createFromRelatedEntity(relatedEntityName,
relatedEntityObj, auditTrailDesc);
*// update Google Calendar*
*updateGoogleCalendar();*
}
else if (relatedEntityName.equals("orderDriver")) {
OrderDriver od = (OrderDriver) relatedEntityObj;
OrderCostDetails orderCostDetails =
od.getOrderCostDetails();
Orders order = new
ArrayList<>(orderCostDetails.getOrders()).get(0);
auditTrailDesc = "updated ORIGIN" +
Thanks,
Howard
