My question is pretty similar to this question - Java - AsyncHttpClient - Fire and Forget but I am using Jersey / Jax-RS in my case.
How do you configure Jersey Jax-RS asynchronous calls to achieve a "fire-and-forget" where it is imperative to not block the current working thread no matter what?
For example, if there are no available threads to process the request, skip it complete and move on do not block the calling thread.
So given this test client here:
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
Future<Response> future1 = client.target("http://example.com/customers/123")
.request()
.async().get();
Cool that works great for a get. But what about a fire-and-forget put or post or something. How would I change this to act more "fire-and-forget"?
client.target("http://example.com/customers/123")
.request()
.async().put(myCustomer);
In a fire-and-forget, you could configure it in many ways for example that it will buffer into an in-memory queue up to a configurable amount of memory and then will just start discarding new entries if the queue was full.
Or another example would be N worker threads and if they are all busy you just drop the http request.
What are the different common Jax-RS async parameters that I should configure? Any gotchas?
