Class DistributedCommandBus

java.lang.Object

org.axonframework.commandhandling.distributed.DistributedCommandBus

All Implemented Interfaces:

CommandBus

public class DistributedCommandBus
extends Object
implements CommandBus

Implementation of a CommandBus that is aware of multiple instances of a CommandBus working together to spread load. Each "physical" CommandBus instance is considered a "segment" of a conceptual distributed CommandBus.

The DistributedCommandBus relies on a CommandBusConnector to dispatch commands and replies to different segments of the CommandBus. Depending on the implementation used, each segment may run in a different JVM.

Constructor Detail

DistributedCommandBus

public DistributedCommandBus(CommandRouter commandRouter,
                             CommandBusConnector connector)

Initializes the command bus with the given commandRouter and connector. The commandRouter is used to determine the target node for each dispatched command. The connector performs the actual transport of the message to the destination node.

Parameters:

commandRouter - the service registry that discovers the network of worker nodes

connector - the connector that connects the different command bus segments

DistributedCommandBus

public DistributedCommandBus(CommandRouter commandRouter,
                             CommandBusConnector connector,
                             MessageMonitor<? super CommandMessage<?>> messageMonitor)

Initializes the command bus with the given commandRouter, connector and messageMonitor. The commandRouter is used to determine the target node for each dispatched command. The connector performs the actual transport of the message to the destination node. The messageMonitor is used to monitor incoming messages and their execution result.

Parameters:

commandRouter - the service registry that discovers the network of worker nodes

connector - the connector that connects the different command bus segments

messageMonitor - the message monitor to notify of incoming messages and their execution result

Method Detail

dispatch

public <C> void dispatch(CommandMessage<C> command)

Description copied from interface: CommandBus

Dispatch the given command to the CommandHandler subscribed to the given command's name. No feedback is given about the status of the dispatching process. Implementations may return immediately after asserting a valid handler is registered for the given command.

Specified by:

dispatch in interface CommandBus

Type Parameters:

C - The payload type of the command to dispatch

Parameters:

command - The Command to dispatch

GenericCommandMessage.asCommandMessage(Object)

dispatch

public <C,R> void dispatch(CommandMessage<C> command,
                           CommandCallback<? super C,R> callback)

Dispatch the given command to the CommandHandler subscribed to the given command's name. When the command is processed, one of the callback's methods is called, depending on the result of the processing.

When the method returns, the only guarantee provided by the CommandBus implementation is that the command has been successfully received. Implementations are highly recommended to perform basic validation of the command before returning from this method call.

Implementations must start a UnitOfWork when before dispatching the command, and either commit or rollback after a successful or failed execution, respectively.

Specified by:

dispatch in interface CommandBus

Type Parameters:

C - The payload type of the command to dispatch

R - The type of the expected result

Parameters:

command - The Command to dispatch

callback - The callback to invoke when command processing is complete

Throws:

CommandDispatchException - when an error occurs while dispatching the command to a segment

GenericCommandMessage.asCommandMessage(Object)

subscribe

public Registration subscribe(String commandName,
                              MessageHandler<? super CommandMessage<?>> handler)

Subscribe the given handler to commands with the given commandName.

If a subscription already exists for the given name, the behavior is undefined. Implementations may throw an Exception to refuse duplicate subscription or alternatively decide whether the existing or new handler gets the subscription.

In the DistributedCommandBus, the handler is subscribed to the local segment only.

Specified by:

subscribe in interface CommandBus

Parameters:

commandName - The name of the command to subscribe the handler to

handler - The handler instance that handles the given type of command

Returns:

a handle to unsubscribe the handler. When unsubscribed it will no longer receive commands.

getLoadFactor

public int getLoadFactor()

Returns the current load factor of this node.

Returns:

the current load factor

updateLoadFactor

public void updateLoadFactor(int loadFactor)

Updates the load factor of this node compared to other nodes registered with the CommandRouter.

Parameters:

loadFactor - the new load factor of this node

registerDispatchInterceptor

public Registration registerDispatchInterceptor(MessageDispatchInterceptor<? super CommandMessage<?>> dispatchInterceptor)

Registers the given list of dispatch interceptors to the command bus. All incoming commands will pass through the interceptors at the given order before the command is dispatched toward the command handler.

Parameters:

dispatchInterceptor - The interceptors to invoke when commands are dispatched

Returns:

handle to unregister the interceptor
