      • execute

        <R> R execute​(java.lang.String activityName,
              java.lang.Class<R> resultClass,
              java.lang.Object... args)
        Executes an activity by its type name and arguments. Blocks until the activity completion.
        Type Parameters:
        R - return type.
        Parameters:
        activityName - name of an activity type to execute.
        resultClass - the expected return type of the activity. Use Void.class for activities that return void type.
        args - arguments of the activity.
        Returns:
        an activity result.

      • execute

        <R> R execute​(java.lang.String activityName,
              java.lang.Class<R> resultClass,
              java.lang.reflect.Type resultType,
              java.lang.Object... args)
        Executes an activity by its type name and arguments. Blocks until the activity completion.
        Type Parameters:
        R - return type.
        Parameters:
        activityName - name of an activity type to execute.
        resultClass - the expected return class of the activity. Use Void.class for activities that return void type.
        resultType - the expected return type of the activity. Differs from resultClass for generic types.
        args - arguments of the activity.
        Returns:
        an activity result.

      • executeAsync

        <R> Promise<R> executeAsync​(java.lang.String activityName,
                            java.lang.Class<R> resultClass,
                            java.lang.Object... args)
        Executes an activity asynchronously by its type name and arguments.
        Type Parameters:
        R - return type.
        Parameters:
        activityName - name of an activity type to execute.
        resultClass - the expected return type of the activity. Use Void.class for activities that return void type.
        args - arguments of the activity.
        Returns:
        Promise to the activity result.
