Package org.camunda.bpm.client.backoff

Class ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy

java.lang.Object

org.camunda.bpm.client.backoff.ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

BackoffStrategy, ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy

public class ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy
extends java.lang.Object
implements ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy

Provides an exponential backoff strategy when an error occurs fetching external tasks.

Note this strategy does not provide any backoff when no external tasks are received. It should therefore only be used with long polling (asyncResponseTimeout) to ensure appropriate throttling of requests.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
long	calculateBackoffTime()	Calculates the back off time and is invoked after ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy.reconfigure(List, Exception).
void	reconfigure(java.util.List<ExternalTask> externalTasks, java.lang.Exception error)	Reconfigures the back off strategy based on the fetched external tasks and any error that might have occurred.

Constructor Detail

ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy

public ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy()

ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy

public ExponentialErrorBackoffStrategy(long initTime,
                                       float factor,
                                       long maxTime)

Parameters:

initTime - in milliseconds for which the client is suspended after the first request

factor - is the base of the power by which the waiting time increases

maxTime - in milliseconds for which the client can be suspended

Method Detail

reconfigure

public void reconfigure(java.util.List<ExternalTask> externalTasks,
                        java.lang.Exception error)

Description copied from interface: ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy

Reconfigures the back off strategy based on the fetched external tasks and any error that might have occurred. It is invoked before ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy.calculateBackoffTime().

The implementation might count the amount of invocations and realize a strategy reset.

Specified by:

reconfigure in interface ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy

Parameters:

externalTasks - which have been fetched

calculateBackoffTime

public long calculateBackoffTime()

Description copied from interface: ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy

Calculates the back off time and is invoked after ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy.reconfigure(List, Exception).

Specified by:

calculateBackoffTime in interface BackoffStrategy

Specified by:

calculateBackoffTime in interface ErrorAwareBackoffStrategy

Returns:

the back off time between fetch and lock requests in milliseconds
