Class Task

java.lang.Object
  com.amazonaws.services.simpleworkflow.flow.core.Task

public abstract class Task
extends Object

Asynchronous task that is executed when all Promises passed to its constructor are ready (null parameter is considered ready).

Should be created in the context of AsyncScope.doAsync() method, from doExecute() or from TryCatchFinally do... methods. Exceptions thrown from doExecute() are delivered asynchronously to the wrapping TryCatchFinally.doCatch(Throwable) method or rethrown from AsyncScope.eventLoop() if no wrapping TryCatchFinally is found.

Example of using Task to implement asynchronous function that sums parameters when both of them are ready:

 
 public Promise<Integer> sum(Promise<Integer> a, Promise<Integer> b) {
     Settable<Integer> result = new Settable<Integer>();
     new Task(a, b) {
         public void doExecute() {
             result.set(a.get() + b.get());
         }
     };
     return result;
 }
