Constructor Detail

### Request

    protected Request()

Method Detail

### setLatchForFreezing

    public void setLatchForFreezing(CountDownLatch latch)

### setError

    public void setError(Throwable error)

  Set the error for this request.

  Parameters:
    `error` - the error to be associated with this request, or null if this request is to have no error
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the request is frozen

### hasError

    public boolean hasError()

  Return whether there is an error associated with this request

  Returns:
    true if there is an error, or false otherwise

### getError

    public Throwable getError()

  Get the error associated with this request, if there is such an error.

  Returns:
    the error, or null if there is none

### isCancelled

    public boolean isCancelled()

  Check whether this request has been cancelled. Although it is a recommendation that the result of this method be followed wherever possible, it is not required to immediately stop processing the request if this method returns `true`. For example, if processing is almost complete, it may be appropriate to simply finish processing the request.

  This method is safe to be called by different threads.

  Returns:
    true if this request has been cancelled, or false otherwise.

### cancel

    public void cancel()

  Cancel this request. After this method is called, the `cancellation flag` is set, and any current or future processing of the request may be affected by the cancellation. (Note however, that processors may choose to not respect this request.)

  This method is safe to be called by different threads.

  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the request is frozen

### isReadOnly

    public abstract boolean isReadOnly()

  Return whether this request only reads information.

  Returns:
    true if this request reads information, or false if it requests that the repository content be changed in some way

### isFrozen

    public boolean isFrozen()

  Determine whether this request has been frozen, preventing any further updates.

  Returns:
    true if the request has been frozen, or false otherwise

### freeze

    public boolean freeze()

  Freeze this request to prevent any further modification. This method does nothing if the request is already frozen.

  Returns:
    true if this request was frozen, or false if it was already frozen

### checkNotFrozen

    protected void checkNotFrozen()
                           throws IllegalStateException

  Utility method to check that the request is not frozen, and if it is to throw an `IllegalStateException`.

  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the request is frozen

### getType

    public abstract RequestType getType()

  Returns the type of the request

  Returns:
    the type of the request

### printable

    protected String printable(Location location)

### printable

    protected String printable(Location location,
                               Name child)
