Interface LinkActivation

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public interface LinkActivation

extends java.io.Serializable

Interface implemented by the object returned by the activate method of a Link that represents a progressing activation. The LinkActivation object allows the client to abort the activation via the abort() method. The object may optionally implement other interfaces, such as ProgressEventGenerator and StatusEventGenerator, or include other methods in its class, which allow other kinds of client interaction.

Method Summary

void	abort() Requests an abort of a Link activation.

Method Detail

abort

public void abort()

Requests an abort of a Link activation. If the activation is still progressing, and has not previously succeeded, failed, or been aborted, then the activation is aborted. Otherwise, invoking abort has no effect. The abort() method does not throw an exception to indicate the activation has already succeeded, failed, or been aborted, but returns normally in these cases.
