Futures

Value Members

1. def alarm(timespan: Long): Future[Nothing]

   Creates a future that resolves after a given time span

   Creates a future that resolves after a given time span.

   timespan

   the time span in ms after which the future resolves

   returns

   the future

2. def awaitAll(timeout: Long, fts: Future[Any]*): List[Option[Any]]

   Waits until either all futures are resolved or a given time span has passed

   Waits until either all futures are resolved or a given time span has passed. Results are collected in a list of options. The result of a future that resolved during the time span is its value wrapped in Some. The result of a future that did not resolve during the time span is None.

   Note that some of the futures might already have been awaited, in which case their value is returned wrapped in Some. Passing a timeout of 0 causes awaitAll to return immediately.

   timeout

   the time span in ms after which waiting is aborted

   fts

   the futures to be awaited

   returns

   the list of optional future values

3. def awaitEither[A, B >: A](ft1: Future[A], ft2: Future[B]): B

   Waits for the first result returned by one of two given futures

   Waits for the first result returned by one of two given futures.

   ft1

   the first future

   ft2

   the second future

   returns

   the result of the future that resolves first

4. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

   This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence

   This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

   The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

   • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
   • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
   • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

   If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

   arg0

   the object to compare against this object for equality.

   returns

   true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

5. def future[T](body: ⇒ T): Future[T]

   Arranges for the asynchronous execution of body, returning a future representing the result

   Arranges for the asynchronous execution of body, returning a future representing the result.

   body

   the computation to be carried out asynchronously

   returns

   the future representing the result of the computation

6. def hashCode(): Int

   Returns a hash code value for the object

   Returns a hash code value for the object.

   The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

   Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

7. def toString(): String

   Returns a string representation of the object

   Returns a string representation of the object.

   The default representation is platform dependent.
