EarlyResponseContainer (copper-coreengine 5.4.1 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultEarlyResponseContainer
```
public interface EarlyResponseContainer
```
A transient container for early response. In the context of COPPER, a reponse is called early, if an asynchronous response is provided to an engine using notify before the workflow has called wait. In this case the engine is unable to correlate the response with a waiting workflow instance and will store the response in this container. Later on, the engine will ask the container for every wait if a response for this wait is already there. In this case the response is removed from the container. The container may implement a strategy to remove reponses for which no wait from a corresponding workflow instance is called.

  - put
```
void put(Response<?> response)
```
    Puts an early reponse into the container
