      • of

        public static <DATA> Stage.Continuation<DATA> of​(DATA result,
                                                         Stage<DATA> next)
        Create a continuation from the processed data result and the stage to be invoked next.
        Type Parameters:
        DATA - processed data type.
        Parameters:
        result - data processing result.
        next - stage to be invoked next.
        Returns:
        a continuation with the supplied stage to be invoked next in the processing chain and the supplied processing result.
      • of

        public static <DATA> Stage.Continuation<DATA> of​(DATA result)
        Create a terminal continuation from the processed data result.
        Type Parameters:
        DATA - processed data type.
        Parameters:
        result - data processing result.
        Returns:
        terminal continuation with no next stage in the processing chain and the supplied processing result.
      • result

        public DATA result()
        Get the data processing result.
        Returns:
        data processing result.
      • next

        public Stage<DATA> next()
        Get the stage to be invoked next or null if no next stage is present.
        Returns:
        the stage to be invoked next or null if not present.
      • hasNext

        public boolean hasNext()
        Check if there is a next stage present in the continuation.

        The absence of a next stage in the continuation indicates that the data processing reached a terminal stage and the result of the continuation represents the final result of the whole processing chain.

        Returns:
        true if there is a next stage present in the continuation, false otherwise.
