Fire-and-Forget interaction pattern
A participant has identified a conversation partner and wants to pass information. The originator sends a Fire-and-Forget message and does not expect any response from the recipient. It is the simplest of all conversations.
This case is also called a "fire and forget": When you start an asynchronous task chain, but you don't care about when it's finished. You want to execute some offloaded work and you don't need to get result back. When the function returns, all you know is that everything up to the first await
has executed.
// C#
async void SomethingAsync() { ... }
// Java
new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() { ... }
};
