An injectable JAX-RS asynchronous response that provides means for asynchronous server side response processing.
A new instance of AsyncResponse
may be injected into a resource or sub-resource
method
parameter using the @Suspended
annotation.
Each asynchronous response instance is bound to the running request and can be used to asynchronously provide the
request processing result or otherwise manipulate the suspended client connection. The available operations include:
- updating suspended state data (time-out value, response ...)
- resuming the suspended request processing
- canceling the suspended request processing
Following example demonstrates the use of the AsyncResponse
for asynchronous HTTP request processing:
@Path("/messages/next")
public class MessagingResource {
private static final BlockingQueue<AsyncResponse> suspended = new ArrayBlockingQueue<AsyncResponse>(5);
@GET
public void readMessage(@Suspended AsyncResponse ar) throws InterruptedException {
suspended.put(ar);
}
@POST
public String postMessage(final String message) throws InterruptedException {
final AsyncResponse ar = suspended.take();
ar.resume(message); // resumes the processing of one GET request
return "Message sent";
}
}
If the asynchronous response was suspended with a positive timeout value, and has not been explicitly resumed before
the timeout has expired, the processing will be resumed once the specified timeout threshold is reached, provided a
positive timeout value was set on the response.
By default a timed-out asynchronous response is resumed with a WebApplicationException
that has HTTP 503 (Service unavailable)
error response status code set. This default behavior may be overridden by setting
a custom time-out handler
.

Resume the suspended request processing using the provided response data. The provided response data can be of any Java type that can be returned from a JAX-RS
resource method
. The asynchronous response must be still in a suspended
state for this method to succeed.
By executing this method, the request is guaranteed to complete either successfully or with an error. The data
processing by the JAX-RS runtime follows the same path as it would for the response data returned synchronously by a
JAX-RS resource, except that unmapped exceptions are not re-thrown by JAX-RS runtime to be handled by a hosting I/O
container. Instead, any unmapped exceptions are propagated to the hosting I/O container via a container-specific
callback mechanism. Depending on the container implementation, propagated unmapped exceptions typically result in an
error status being sent to the client and/or the connection being closed.
Params: - response – data to be sent back in response to the suspended request.
See Also: Returns: true
if the request processing has been resumed, returns false
in case the request processing is not suspended
and could not be resumed.

Cancel the suspended request processing.
When a request processing is cancelled using this method, the JAX-RS implementation MUST indicate to the client that the request processing has been cancelled by sending back a HTTP 503 (Service unavailable)
error response.
Invoking a cancel(...)
method multiple times to cancel request processing has the same effect as canceling the request processing only once. Invoking a cancel(...)
method on an asynchronous response instance that has already been cancelled or resumed has no effect and the method call is ignored while returning true
, in case the request has been cancelled previously. Otherwise, in case the request has been resumed regularly (using a resume(...) method
) or resumed due to a time-out, method returns false
.
See Also: Returns: true
if the request processing has been cancelled, returns false
in case the request processing is not suspended
and could not be cancelled and is not
cancelled
already.
