public interface AsyncResponse
A new instance of AsyncResponse may be injected into a
resource or sub-resource method parameter using
the @Suspend annotation.
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.

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.
response - data to be sent back in response to the suspended request.true if the request processing has been resumed, returns false in case
the request processing is not suspended and could not be resumed.resume(Throwable)boolean resume(Throwable response)

the response is not suspended and could not be resumed.resume(Object)boolean cancel()
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.
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.cancel(int),
cancel(java.util.Date)boolean cancel(int retryAfter)
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 with a Retry-After header set to the value provided by the method
parameter.
Invoking a cancel(...) method multiple times to cancel request processing has the same

Otherwise, in case the request has been resumed regularly (using a resume(...) method) or
resumed due to a time-out, method returns false.
retryAfter - a decimal integer number of seconds after the response is sent to the client that
indicates how long the service is expected to be unavailable to the requesting
client.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.cancel(),

true if the processing of a request this asynchronous response
is bound to is finished.
The request processing may be finished due to a normal termination, a suspend timeout, or
cancellation -- in all of these cases, this method will return true.

TimeUnit unit)
The new suspend timeout values override any timeout value previously specified.
The asynchronous response must be still in a suspended state
for this method to succeed.
time - suspend timeout value in the give time unit. Value lower
or equal to 0 causes the context to suspend indefinitely.unit - suspend timeout value time unit.true if the suspend time out has been set, returns false in case
the request processing is not in the suspended state.void setTimeoutHandler(TimeoutHandler handler)
The time-out handler will be invoked when the suspend period of this asynchronous response times out. The job of the time-out handler is to resolve the time-out situation by either
Note that in case the response is suspended indefinitely,
the time-out handler may never be invoked.
