io.vertx.rxjava3.core.Context

public class Context
extends Object

The execution context of a Handler execution.

When Vert.x provides an event to a handler or calls the start or stop methods of a Verticle, the execution is associated with a Context.

Usually a context is an *event-loop context* and is tied to a specific event loop thread. So executions for that context always occur on that exact same event loop thread.

In the case of worker verticles and running inline blocking code a worker context will be associated with the execution which will use a thread from the worker thread pool.

When a handler is set by a thread associated with a specific context, the Vert.x will guarantee that when that handler is executed, that execution will be associated with the same context.

If a handler is set by a thread not associated with a context (i.e. a non Vert.x thread). Then a new context will be created for that handler.

In other words, a context is propagated.

This means that when a verticle is deployed, any handlers it sets will be associated with the same context - the context of the verticle.

This means (in the case of a standard verticle) that the verticle code will always be executed with the exact same thread, so you don't have to worry about multi-threaded acccess to the verticle state and you can code your application as single threaded.

This class also allows arbitrary data to be put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) and get(java.lang.Object) on the context so it can be shared easily amongst different handlers of, for example, a verticle instance.

This class also provides runOnContext(io.vertx.core.Handler<java.lang.Void>) which allows an action to be executed asynchronously using the same context.

NOTE: This class has been automatically generated from the original non RX-ified interface using Vert.x codegen.

isOnWorkerThread

public static boolean isOnWorkerThread()

Is the current thread a worker thread?

NOTE! This is not always the same as calling isWorkerContext(). If you are running blocking code from an event loop context, then this will return true but isWorkerContext() will return false.

Returns:

true if current thread is a worker thread, false otherwise

isOnEventLoopThread

public static boolean isOnEventLoopThread()

Is the current thread an event thread?

NOTE! This is not always the same as calling isEventLoopContext(). If you are running blocking code from an event loop context, then this will return false but isEventLoopContext() will return true.

Returns:

true if current thread is an event thread, false otherwise

isOnVertxThread

public static boolean isOnVertxThread()

Is the current thread a Vert.x thread? That's either a worker thread or an event loop thread

Returns:

true if current thread is a Vert.x thread, false otherwise

runOnContext

public void runOnContext(Handler<Void> action)

Run the specified action asynchronously on the same context, some time after the current execution has completed.

Parameters:

action - the action to run

executeBlocking

@Deprecated
public <T> Maybe<T> executeBlocking(Handler<Promise<T>> blockingCodeHandler,
                                                boolean ordered)

Deprecated.

Safely execute some blocking code.

Executes the blocking code in the handler blockingCodeHandler using a thread from the worker pool.

The returned future will be completed with the result on the original context (i.e. on the original event loop of the caller) or failed when the handler throws an exception.

A Future instance is passed into blockingCodeHandler. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the Promise.complete(T) or Promise.complete(T) method, or the Promise.fail(java.lang.Throwable) method if it failed.

The blocking code should block for a reasonable amount of time (i.e no more than a few seconds). Long blocking operations or polling operations (i.e a thread that spin in a loop polling events in a blocking fashion) are precluded.

When the blocking operation lasts more than the 10 seconds, a message will be printed on the console by the blocked thread checker.

Long blocking operations should use a dedicated thread managed by the application, which can interact with verticles using the event-bus or runOnContext(io.vertx.core.Handler<java.lang.Void>)

Parameters:

blockingCodeHandler - handler representing the blocking code to run

ordered - if true then if executeBlocking is called several times on the same context, the executions for that context will be executed serially, not in parallel. if false then they will be no ordering guarantees

Returns:

rxExecuteBlocking

public <T> Maybe<T> rxExecuteBlocking(Handler<Promise<T>> blockingCodeHandler,
                                                  boolean ordered)

A Future instance is passed into blockingCodeHandler. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the Promise.complete(T) or Promise.complete(T) method, or the Promise.fail(java.lang.Throwable) method if it failed.

Parameters:
