Interface CollaborationMessagePersister

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface CollaborationMessagePersister
extends Serializable

Persister of CollaborationMessage items, which enables to read and write messages from/to a backend, for example a database.

It can be used with a CollaborationMessageList to have the component read messages from the backend when attached and write new messages to it when appended to the list with a sumbmitter component, e.g. CollaborationMessageInput.

Method Detail

fromCallbacks

static CollaborationMessagePersister fromCallbacks(SerializableFunction<CollaborationMessagePersister.FetchQuery,Stream<CollaborationMessage>> fetchCallback,
                                                   SerializableConsumer<CollaborationMessagePersister.PersistRequest> persistCallback)

Creates an instance of CollaborationMessagePersister from the provided callbacks.

Parameters:

fetchCallback - the callback to fetch messages, not null

persistCallback - the callback to persist messages, not null

Returns:

the persister instance

fetchMessages

Stream<CollaborationMessage> fetchMessages(CollaborationMessagePersister.FetchQuery query)

Reads a stream of CollaborationMessage items from a persistence backend. The query parameter contains the topic identifier and the timestamp from which messages should be read.

Note: You must include the messages sent during or after the timestamp returned from CollaborationMessagePersister.FetchQuery.getSince(), including the messages sent at that exact time. More formally, you should return all such messages, for which the following condition is true:

 message.getTime() >= fetchQuery.getSince()
 

Parameters:

query - the fetch query

Returns:

a stream of messages

persistMessage

void persistMessage(CollaborationMessagePersister.PersistRequest request)

Writes a CollaborationMessage to the persistence backend.

It is recommended to let the backend set the message timestamp and only use CollaborationMessage.getTime() as a fallback.

Parameters:

request - the request to persist the message
