Class SystemConnectionContext

java.lang.Object

com.vaadin.collaborationengine.SystemConnectionContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConnectionContext, Serializable

public class SystemConnectionContext
extends Object
implements ConnectionContext

A connection context that is always active. This context is intended to be used in cases when Collaboration Engine is used in situations that aren't directly associated with a UI, such as from a background thread or when integrating with external services.

An instance can be acquired using getInstance() in any situation where CollaborationEngine.getInstance() is available. Other situations can use CollaborationEngine.getSystemContext() or create a new context instance using the constructor.

Constructor Details

SystemConnectionContext

public SystemConnectionContext(CollaborationEngine ce)

Creates a new system connection context instance for the given Collaboration Engine instance. It is typically recommended reusing an existing instance through getInstance() or CollaborationEngine.getSystemContext() rather than creating new instances.

Parameters:

ce - the collaboration engine instance to use, not null

Method Details

getInstance

public static SystemConnectionContext getInstance()

Gets the system connection context associated with the current Collaboration Engine instance. This method can be used only when CollaborationEngine.getInstance() is available.

Returns:

a system connection context instance, not null

Throws:

IllegalStateException - in case no current collaboration engine instance is available

init

public Registration init(ActivationHandler activationHandler,
 Executor executor)

Description copied from interface: ConnectionContext

Initializes the connection context with a ActivationHandler and an Executor.

The method Consumer.accept(Object) from the provided ActivationHandler should be called with an ActionDispatcher when this ConnectionContext is activated. When this ConnectionContext is deactivated, it should call Consumer.accept(Object) with a null parameter.

The ActionDispatcher should ensure synchronization within the context of this ConnectionContext.

Specified by:

init in interface ConnectionContext

Parameters:

activationHandler - the handler for activation changes

executor - executor that should be used by the handler to execute background tasks. Not null

Returns:

the registration for any logic that needs to be cleaned up if the connection is closed permanently, or null if there is nothing to clean up
