Interface CommandHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseCommandHandler

public interface CommandHandler

A CommandHandler is an interface that allows an implementing class to either process a Command and input to the Command before it is executed, or after it is executed. CommandHandlers can be chained together to achieve layered services, by configuring #getNextCommandHandler()NextCommandHandler with the next Command Handler to invoke and invoking executeCommand() of the NextCommandHandler in the executeCommand() method.

If CommandHandler is doing pre processing then it should do it before invoking the NextCommandHandler, and if it is doing post processing it should do it after invoking the NextCommandHandler

CommandHandlers can take either a Map or List as input to their executeCommand() method.

At the end of any configured chain of CommandHandlers must be a CommandHandler that is capable of executing the Command that was passed to it. That is, there is a CommandHandler that actually executes the Command object.

Examples of CommandHandlers are: post processing by moving data from a results bucket to an exceptions bucket, caching command calls, and auditing.

Method Detail

getNextCommandHandler

CommandHandler getNextCommandHandler()

Returns Next CommandHandler in the command invocation chain to invoke. If this CommandHandler is the end of command invocation chain then this property is not expected to be set.

executeCommand

CommandResult executeCommand(Command pCommand,
                           java.lang.Object pInput)
                             throws CommandInvocationException,
                                    CommandTimeoutException,
                                    InvalidInputException

Process the Command and input to the Command before or after invoking the NextCommandHandler. If this is the end of the invocation chain then this CommandHandler is expected to execute the Command directly.

If this CommandHandler is doing pre processing then it should do it before invoking the executeCommand() of the NextCommandHandler, and if it is doing post processing it should do it after invoking the executeCommand() of the NextCommandHandler

Parameters:

pCommand - the command to execute.

pInput - the input to the command

Returns:

CommandResult

Throws:

CommandInvocationException - if any error occurs, or any exception is thrown while executing the Command.

CommandTimeoutException - if timeout occurs while invoking the command.

InvalidInputException - if input object passed is invalid.
