Class QueuedNotificationManager<L,​N>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Identifiable<String>, NotificationManager<L,​N>

    public final class QueuedNotificationManager<L,​N>
    extends IdentityQueuedNotificationManager<L,​N>
    This class manages queuing and dispatching notifications for multiple listeners concurrently. Notifications are queued on a per-listener basis and dispatched serially to each listener via an Executor.

    This class optimizes its memory footprint by only allocating and maintaining a queue and executor task for a listener when there are pending notifications. On the first notification(s), a queue is created and a task is submitted to the executor to dispatch the queue to the associated listener. Any subsequent notifications that occur before all previous notifications have been dispatched are appended to the existing queue. When all notifications have been dispatched, the queue and task are discarded.

    This class is pessimistic about listener type and uses identity mapping for comparing them. This is defensive versus reused objects, maintaining semantics. This may not always be intended, for example if L is a String which is being dynamically determined. In that case we do not want to use identity, but equality, as otherwise the caller is forced to use String.intern() -- leading to interning in lookup, which is absolutely unnecessary. In such use cases, use EqualityQueuedNotificationManager instead.
