public interface Saga<T>
extends EventMessageHandler

Interface describing an implementation of a Saga. Sagas are instances that handle events and may possibly produce new commands or have other side effects. Typically, Sagas are used to manage long running business transactions.

Multiple instances of a single type of Saga may exist. In that case, each Saga will be managing a different transaction. Sagas need to be associated with concepts in order to receive specific events. These associations are managed through AssociationValues. For example, to associate a saga with an Order with ID 1234, this saga needs an association value with key "orderId" and value "1234".

getSagaIdentifier

String getSagaIdentifier()

Returns the unique identifier of this saga.

Returns:

the unique identifier of this saga

getAssociationValues

AssociationValues getAssociationValues()

Returns a view on the Association Values for this saga instance. The returned instance is mutable.

invoke

<R> R invoke(Function<T,R> invocation)

Execute the given invocation against the root object of this Saga instance.

Type Parameters:

R - The type of return value expected

Parameters:

invocation - the function to invoke. The root object of the Saga is input to the function, the result is the result of the execution.
